The opening of a branch of the Turkish stream “through Serbia at the end of December means that the country will no longer depend on the Russian gas supply via Ukraine and will become a new leader in the region,” Putnikovi said.
Commenting on the announcement by the President of Serbia that Russian gas would reach Serbia via Bulgaria on New Year’s Eve, Putnikova said it was encouraging that this project had achieved its goal, because Serbia above all now has a alternate supply route.
Gas from Serbia is already directed to Bosnia and Herzegovina, that is to the Republika Srpska, but within the framework of this project for the construction of the “Turkish Stream” gas pipeline through Serbia, the construction of a branch line to BiH. The world is moving away from coal-fired electricity production to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and moving towards renewables, but they cannot fully supply consumers 24 hours a day. capacity, “Putnikovi explains to Sputnik.
It also helps us the fact that gas has become cheaper, so it is no longer too expensive a source of energy to produce electricity and the only thing left is for gas to reach every house, he says.
Putnikovi adds that Serbia, unfortunately, is not fully gasified, except in Vojvodina, where the gas network is extremely branched. Many of the smaller cities do not have gas yet, because local gas pipelines have not been built, but this has also been considered.
Putnikovi noted that it was good that the action started last year, the construction of a gas pipeline was announced, that is, the gasification of the whole of Serbia.
The gasification of homes has also begun, the good thing is that those who want to bring natural gas to their homes can already pay that connection in installments with the “Srbijagas” account. At the same time, gas has become cheaper, because crude oil has also become cheaper, so it is no longer too expensive a source of energy to produce electricity, “said the energy expert.
The president of Serbia announced that on December 29 or 30 Russian gas will be sent from “Turkish Stream” to Serbia, and Putnikov says that we will have cheaper gas than what is presented in the political statements of some European officials, and especially American ones like an alternative to Russian gas.
“President Vui said yesterday that no one will force Serbia to buy more expensive gas, because Russian gas is reliable, it reaches us, it arrived in the 1990s, and it is cheaper than the gas that now reaches the ENND terminal,” he said. Putnikova said, adding that Serbia would also have the opportunity to connect to some of those gas port terminals via Greece and Bulgaria, once the connection is completed, which is also a good alternative.
“A few more gas pipelines are being built in the Balkans, which will allow Serbia, connecting to the gas systems of Bulgaria and Hungary, to have new supply routes, but this is the most important thing now, because we no longer depend on a gas route. supply through Ukraine and Hungary, “he said.
