Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić announced that Azerbaijan has informed Serbia it will no longer be able to deliver 1.7 million cubic meters of gas per day, citing internal issues in Azerbaijan. Vučić described the news as another blow for Serbia, noting that the country will now have to rely more heavily on its reserves.
“This morning, we received notification from Azerbaijan that from today onwards, we can no longer count on the daily supply of 1.7 million cubic meters of gas. As a result, we will have to start drawing more significantly from our reserves,” Vučić said.
The President emphasized that the timeline for the return of Azerbaijani gas remains unclear. “Those who called me ‘crazy Vučić’ now see that it was smart to have built up reserves. We have enough gas to last until we get a new shipment. I hope Azerbaijan will be able to resolve the issue in a month or two. However, if the problem persists, we may have to use 2 to 2.5 million cubic meters, or even 3 million, from our reserves over the next four months,” he explained.
Despite this setback, Vučić reassured the public that there will be no shortage of gas, oil, or other derivatives. He also reaffirmed Serbia’s commitment to maintaining its position as the fastest-growing economy in Europe.
