Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán headed to the border with Serbia early this morning to check if everything is OK with the Turkish Stream gas pipeline on the Hungarian side after the Serbian intelligence services, police and army allegedly prevented the diversion near Kanjiza
Near the village of Velebit, near the Turski Tok gas pipeline, two large backpacks with explosives and sticks were found, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić claims. Many shadows fall on his statement
Before convening the session of the Defense Council, the Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbán, spoke with the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić.
Due to the necessary works on gas pipelines, on Thursday, February 12, "Srbijagas" will suspend gas deliveries in nine cities and municipalities of the Moravica and Zlatibor districts, which should not last longer than 24 hours, Srbijagas director Dušan Bajatović told RTS.
Instead of the announced long-term gas arrangement, an agreement was reached on supply until March 31, 2026.
Russia has no better collaborators in Serbia than Aleksandar Vučić, believes energy expert Miodrag Kapor, and that is why Moscow will not stop the flow of natural gas regardless of the epilogue in the NIS.
Valery Zaluzhnyi, the former chief of the Ukrainian General Staff, condemned the attack on the Russian-German gas station, Spiegel writes. Will the German prosecution finally get to one of the suspects?
The announced gas pipeline will be the second that Serbia will have with partners from the European Union, after a complete dependence on Russian gas for more than a quarter of a century. What will it bring to Serbia?
The construction of the Serbia-Bulgaria gas interconnector should enable the diversification of supply sources. It is expected that the works will be completed at the beginning of November
A year ago, an important part of the European energy infrastructure was destroyed. Clues lead to Ukraine
The day after the Serbian President's guest appearance on the public service, Serbian media reported that the Serbian Oil Industry will be exempted from EU sanctions against Russia's Gazpromneft. While the media are competing to give a greater epithet to President Vučić's negotiating skills, official Brussels has not announced anything about this yet.
The new package of sanctions aimed at Russian companies will, as things stand now, also affect the operations of Naftna industrija Srbije (NIS), as it is majority owned by the Russian Gazpromneft. Official Belgrade considers that Serbia has found itself as "collateral damage" of the European sanctions against Russia and requests an exemption, which is currently "under consideration". The EU has been pointing out to Serbia for 10 years now the almost non-existent diversification in energy supply and reliance only on Russian oil.
