Banatski Dvor

BELGRADE - At Wednesday's meeting with Russian Ambassador to Belgrade Alexander Botsan-Kharchenko, Serbian PM Milos Vucevic noted that an expansion of the Banatski dvor gas storage facility in northern Serbia was a priority project in the energy sector.

The ceremony was also attended by the President of Bulgaria, Rumen Radev.
President Vui visited the construction site with Radev and spoke with the contractors.
"It is very important for us to import gas from you, rather than to export it," said Vui.

According to the government, the first deputy PM and foreign minister spoke at the panel "Mission Possible -Challenges and Solutions for the Energy Transition" of the Berlin Energy Transition Dialogue, to point out that the natural gas transport system in Serbia is linear.

Serbian Minister of Mining and Energy Aleksandar Antic said this on Friday, Tanjug reported, quoting his statement for RTS.

Antic said coordination of several agreements - mostly concerning the gas economy - was in the final stage.

Antic was responding journalists when he said that this will not affect our country, because of the contract it has with Gazprom, that includes "three points for the delivery of gas to Serbia."

Srbijagas CEO Dusan Bajatovic and Gazprom Management Committee member Oleg Aksyutin on Friday signed an agreement on scientific and technical cooperation.

It covers joint engagement to expand the Banatski Dvor gas storage facility in northern Serbia.

An agreement was signed on Wednesday on expansion of the underground gas storage facility in Banatski Dvor, Serbia.

The deal was inked by Gazprom CEO Aleksei Miller and General Director of Serbia's public gas enterprise Srbijagas Dusan Bajatovic.

Serbia will have enough gas even if deliveries via Ukraine are cut, Tanjug said it learned from the country's public gas enterprise Srbijagas.

Today, the underground gas storage (UGS) facility in Banatski Dvor contains 381 million cubic meters of gas, 141 million owned by Srbijagas, and around 240 million cubic meters owned by the Russian partner Gazprom Export, Srbijagas noted.

Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic on Monday said Serbia will try to expand the capacity of Banatski Dvor, its only gas storage, from 450 million to one billion cubic meters, to increase energy security.

Authorities "prepared for worst-case gas scenario"

BELGRADE -- Serbian citizens "have no reason for concern" over gas deliveries as the country has three to four months' worth of supplies, Aleksandar Antic said on Thursday.
