Serbia interested in Turkish Stream

The Ambassador of Serbia to Russia, Slavenko Terzic,  said that the country is interested in diversifying its gas supplies, including through the Turkish Stream gas pipeline.

"The issue of energy security is extremely important for Serbia. We placed high hopes on the South Stream. Since it has been cancelled we are looking for new sources. Serbia is currently discussing all the possible streams, especially those that can bring Russian gas to Serbia. The Turkish Stream is one of them," Gazeta.ru cited him as saying.

Terzic added that the difficulties in the project's implementation "arise from the EU’s attitude toward Russia." He expressed hope that they will be resolved taking into account the interests of all sides.
