The first deliveries of gas should start on January 1 next year. This will make it possible to completely stop the transit of gas to Serbia via Ukraine. In the next phase, the gas from the “Turkish Stream” should reach Hungary, and later Austria.
Earlier, the Bulgarian company “Bulgartransgas” confirmed that the gas filling will start before January. Daily gas deliveries can reach 15 million cubic meters.
It should be reminded that during last week’s visit of the head of Russian diplomacy, Sergey Lavrov, to Belgrade, the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, said that the Serbian part of the gas pipeline would be opened on December 30.
The “Turkish Stream” gas pipeline, which started operating on January 8, was set up along the bottom of the Black Sea from Russia to the Turkish coast. The land transit branch continues to the border with neighboring countries, from where gas is already exported to Greece, Bulgaria and Northern Macedonia. In the future (after the completion of the construction of the entire infrastructure), the gas will go to Serbia and Hungary.
The capacity of the 930 km long gas pipeline is 31.5 billion cubic meters of gas per year, Vesti Online reports.
