Alexey Miller of Gazprom and Dusan Bajatovic, Director General of state-owned Srbijagas, met in Belgrade on Thursday where they discussed the issue of current and winter gas supplies to Serbia.
“ The meeting participants discussed the progress with the South Stream project. The pipeline route is being designed in Serbia within the project, ” Gazprom said in a statement.
In the near future the construction permit will be obtained for the South Stream’s top-priority section in Serbia.
In 2013 a long-term contract was signed for Russian gas supplies to Serbia in the amount of up to 1.5 billion cubic meters of gas annually for a period of 10 years. Gas is being conveyed via the existing route and in the future – via the South Stream gas pipeline.
