Serbia plans to extend gas agreement with Russia
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has expressed his intention to extend the current agreement on natural gas supplies from Russia. The matter was discussed during a recent telephone conversation between the leaders of the two countries. This decision is of great importance for Belgrade's energy security, as the current contract is set to expire on September 30.
Currently, Serbia receives Russian gas at a preferential price of 318 euros per 1,000 cubic meters. The country's authorities hope to maintain these terms after signing a new contract. This is crucial for the Serbian economy, as stable energy prices help support industry and curb tariff increases for the population.
Russia remains one of the key energy suppliers for Serbia. Despite the complex geopolitical situation, Belgrade continues to adhere to a policy of cooperation with Moscow in the energy sector. Negotiations on the new supply terms are expected to take place in the near future to avoid disruptions during the winter period.
It is expected that the details of the new agreement will be finalized by the end of September. Experts note that continuing gas supplies at the current price will be an important factor for the stability of Serbia's economy in the upcoming heating season.
