The VOA reminds that the Balkan Stream was put into operation on the first day of the New Year in the town of Gospodjinci in Vojvodina, and that officials said at the opening that Serbia would provide another, more stable gas supply route, which no longer goes only through Ukraine.
According to the VOA, the Balkan Stream, whose construction began through Serbia in March 2019, is part of the Turkish Stream gas pipeline, which transports Russian gas through Turkey, Bulgaria to Serbia and Hungary.
This means, according to the VOA, that Serbia now has a total of two directions of gas supply from the same source.
Former Serbian ambassador to Belarus, Srecko Djukic, says that Serbia is now the only country in Europe that is 100% dependent on Russian gas.
Diplomat Zoran Milivojevic says that this confirms Serbia’s dependence on Russia, but notes that it is important that Belgrade has resolved the issue of gas supply.
“The big question is how it will go through Ukraine. With this, Serbia satisfies its interests and provides secure supplies from Russia,” Milivojevic told the Voice of America.
Energy on economic, not ideological grounds
Serbia is fully committed to the diversification and development of energy infrastructure, in the interest of its economy and not on political, but on economically sustainable bases, said a senior Serbian official regarding the reaction from the USA to the commissioning of the Balkan Stream gas pipeline.
Tanjug’s unnamed source points out that “some commentators are biased in their attacks on Serbia and President Vucic because of their work on the development of gas infrastructure, which is vital for the Serbian economy, but at the same time connects our neighbors.”
“These are countries that are both members of the EU and NATO, and through whose territories that infrastructure comes to Serbia, and yet, in the view of those media, only Serbia deserves criticism, due to concern for its own economy and availability of energy,” said the Serbian official.
“I want to remove every dilemma: Serbia is fully committed to the Washington agreement, and the development of infrastructure in the supply of energy in the interest of our economy, not on ideological, not political, but on economically sustainable bases,” Tanjug’s interlocutor pointed out.
We are looking forward, he says, to record numbers in exchange and investments with the USA in 2021.
