PRODANOVIĆ: "Blue Stream” will not bypass Serbia

- The domestic public knows that the Russian-Serbian memorandum, which precisely explains passing of the gas pipeline through Serbia, was signed. In some ten days, the Russian-Serbian task force will meet again in Belgrade and its task will be to write the operating procedure for carrying out of the regulations stipulated by the memorandum – said Milutin Prodanović, the Assistant to the Republic Minister of Mining and Energy.

Denying the writing of "International Herald Tribune", which recently announced that "Blue Stream" would bypass Serbia, he said that the task force had the task to take all aspects of that project into consideration, that is, to work out the details of the building of that gas pipeline.

According to that newspaper, Hungary negotiates with "Gazprom" about construction of the gas pipeline through Hungarian territory. Allegedly, gas pipeline "Blue Stream" should go through Bulgaria and Romania to Hungary, which means that it would bypass Serbia.
