Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić stated that countries which banned Russian gas will, in a few years, “stand in line in front of Moscow,” as the United States will stop exporting liquefied natural gas (LNG) due to its increasing domestic consumption for artificial energy and electric vehicle chargers.
“Because they will need it for their growing consumption. Then we will all stand in line, and those who banned Russian gas will be in front of Moscow asking, ‘Give us our gas back.’ We need to solve these problems as soon as possible,” Vučić said after addressing the UN Climate Change Conference (COP29) in Baku.
He further explained that electricity consumption is rising, which is why gas power plants are being built.
“Just a few years ago, we didn’t even consider gas power plants in Serbia because they were too expensive for us. It was cheaper for us to use coal, but now gas power plants are the solution,” Vučić added.
According to him, electricity consumption in Serbia is higher in the summer than in the winter, meaning there is no significant difference in demand for electricity throughout the year.
While speaking in Baku, where he is attending COP29, Vučić outlined two key conditions for addressing climate change: ending the war in Ukraine and finding new ways to finance efforts without pushing countries into debt slavery.
He emphasized that, under current geopolitical circumstances, it is impossible to address this issue effectively, as all countries are increasing consumption in various ways—directly, indirectly, through defense industries, and on weapons.
