When asked by journalists whether the restrictions announced by the Americans, that is, the introduction of sanctions for the use of gas from the Turkish stream, will affect Serbia, Vučić emphasized that Russian gas has always been the most favorable for Serbia and that You will not buy more expensive gas because of other people’s political interests.

“If you are going to offer us cheaper gas, that’s fine, but nobody has ever offered it to us … And let’s stop buying Russian gas and tell people ‘now you will pay a lot and you will have gas twice as expensive …” No I am a fool and will not humiliate the country in that way, “Vucic told a joint conference with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

He noted that Serbia is ready for talks, but that it will never agree to buy another gas if it is not of sufficient quality and cheap like Russian.
