South Stream Serbia AG

NOVI SAD - Srbijagas Director Dusan Bajatovic stated on Friday that he expects the works on the construction of the South Stream pipeline section through Serbia to begin in late October or early November.

BELGRADE - The construction of the South Stream gas pipeline section through Serbia could begin in July, head of the Gazprom international projects department Alexander Siromyatin said on Thursday.

The Energy Community Secretariat of the EU has asked the EU Council to examine the legality of bilateral agreements on the construction of the South Stream gas pipeline concluded between Serbia and Russia's Gazprom company.

BELGRADE - The problem with issuing government guarantees needed for the construction of the South Stream pipeline leg through Serbia has emerged because the reforms in Srbijagas, a government owned company, are behind schedule, the Ministry of Energy has said.
