The length of the gas pipeline in Serbia is 13 kilometers, and the length of the Romanian section is 86 kilometers. The interconnection line is expected to have a capacity of at least 1.6 billion cubic meters of natural gas, and the Serbian section is expected to be completed in 2027.
“In this way, Serbia will receive another direction of gas supply, connecting the Serbian hub of Moclin with the Romanian BRUA pipeline,” Beta noted.
Europe to build a new gas interconnector. Ministers sign agreement
Energy Minister Dubravka Djedovic Handanovic said that cooperation between Serbia and Romania in the energy sector “is an important support for the security of energy supply for citizens and economies of both countries, as evidenced by the fact that by 2023 up to 28% of total transaction volume will be energy trade.”
The Serbian minister added that due to its links with Romania and Bulgaria, and in the coming period with North Macedonia, Serbia is becoming an indispensable transit country and an important partner in ensuring energy security for Central and Eastern European countries.
In late 2023, Serbia began receiving natural gas from Azerbaijan, which is delivered to the country via an interconnector pipeline that passes through neighboring Bulgaria.
Belgrade is taking steps to diversify its gas supply sources as it relies almost entirely on Russian raw materials, with domestic production accounting for less than 13 percent of demand – according to Serbia’s energy agency.
