A working meeting between Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee, and Slavenko Terzic, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Serbia to the Russian Federation, took place in St. Petersburg today.
The parties discussed issues related to bilateral cooperation. The meeting participants spoke, among other things, about Russian gas exports to Serbia, noting the reliability of gas supplies and the rising gas demand in the country. According to preliminary data, in the period from January 1 through July 12, 2018, gas exports to Serbia totaled 1.2 billion cubic meters, an increase of 5.3 per cent from the same period of 2017.
Alexey Miller informed Slavenko Terzic of the progress in the construction of the TurkStream gas pipeline, with over 1,230 kilometers of pipes already built along the two strings, which translates into 66 per cent of the pipeline’s offshore section. The meeting also touched upon the measures being taken by Serbia to develop the national gas transmission system.
In addition, the parties spoke about Gazprom’s ongoing projects in Serbia.
