Srbijagas presented to EU representatives the plans for gas-related investments, with the potential support of Brussels. Serbia is playing an increasingly important role in the regional supply.
In a year and a half, Serbia will also get a state-of-the-art laboratory, the fourth in Europe for the measuring of the quality and flow of gas.
The gas interconnector built with the support of the European Union started working last year and provided Serbia with a supply alternative, so an increase in the capacities has been announced as well.
– It is very important economically and politically for the protection of the energy needs of the Serbian industry and households and for reducing the dependence on one supplier. With this investment, the European Union confirmed the importance it places on energy transition and decarbonization in Serbia – according to Andrea Hochhuber. the head of the European Integration, Economic and Trade Section at the EU Delegation to Serbia.
At Srbijagas, they expect further support as well, because Serbia has all the capacities to be an important transit route on the South Gas Corridor.
Along with the expansion of the Banatski Dvor storage facility, the plan is to build another three new storage facilities and two gas interconnectors, with with North Macedonia and Romania.
