“We do not rule out such contact,” Peskov said at a briefing. The timing and format of the conversation he did not name.
Gas supplies from Russia to Serbia go through the "Balkan Stream" - a continuation of the "Turkish Stream", which allows you to transport gas from Bulgaria through Serbia to Hungary. The current gas supply contract expires on September 30. According to the head of the Supervisory Board of Srbijagas Alexander Vulin, the Serbian side expects to extend it until the end of the year.
At the same time, Belgrade is looking for new sources of energy. Along with gas supplies from Russia through the Turkish Stream and the Bulgarian GTS, the country receives gas from Azerbaijan.
