Serbia will commence construction on the crucial Serbia-North Macedonia gas link this year, according to Mining and Energy Minister Dubravka Dedovic-Handovic. The project is slated to become operational within the next two years, beginning in early 2028. This significant undertaking is a key component of wider regional initiatives aimed at bolstering energy security.
The collaboration involves Serbia, Greece, North Macedonia, and Bulgaria, all committed to strengthening their cooperative efforts. The planned capacity of the gas link is approximately 1.5 billion cubic meters annually, representing a substantial increase in supply options for Serbia. The link will provide Serbia with an additional supply route, leveraging access through the existing TANAP pipeline.
Furthermore, it will incorporate the availability of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from terminals located in Greece. Serbia has already secured a guaranteed supply of 300 million cubic meters of gas annually through this LNG pathway. This strategic investment underscores Serbia’s commitment to diversifying its gas sources and ensuring a reliable energy future for the nation.
The project is expected to have a positive impact on the entire Balkan region, fostering greater energy stability and cooperation among participating countries.
