(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 1. Serbia may triple
gas supply from Azerbaijan, said Veljko Kovacevic, State Secretary
at the Ministry of Mining and Energy of Serbia, Trend reports.
He made the remark at the 10th Southern Gas Corridor Advisory
Council Ministerial Meeting and the 2nd Green Energy Advisory
Council Ministerial Meeting held today in Baku.
"After completing the Serbia-Bulgaria Interconnector, we've
signed a deal with Azerbaijan for supply of 400 million cubic
meters of gas annually until 2026, with the possibility of tripling
that volume afterward," he said.
The state secretary added that Azerbaijani gas is gaining
recognition in Europe as a key element in diversifying gas supply
sources.
"Thanks to these new gas connections, Azerbaijani gas is now
playing a crucial role in bolstering Serbia's and the region's
energy security," Kovacevic pointed out.
Meanwhile, on December 10, the Serbia-Bulgaria Gas
Interconnector was officially inaugurated in Niš. The newly
established gas pipeline will link up the current Serbian network
in Niš with the Bulgarian network in the capital Sofia, covering a
distance of 109 km on the Serbian side. Boasting a pipe diameter of
700 mm and a maximum pressure of 55 bar, its capacity will
facilitate the annual transfer of 1.8 billion cubic meters of
natural gas - equivalent to 60 percent of Serbia's total annual
consumption.
