Serbia has extended its gas supply arrangement with Russia for another three months, according to Srbijagas director and Socialist Party representative Dušan Bajatović. The existing agreement was nearing its expiration, prompting concerns about potential disruptions to Serbia’s energy security. Details of the extension, including pricing and volume, were not immediately disclosed. This continuation of the deal reflects Serbia’s continued reliance on Russian gas despite international pressure to diversify energy sources. Bajatović’s statement indicates a pragmatic approach to ensuring a stable gas supply during a period of heightened geopolitical uncertainty. The extension allows Serbia time to explore alternative supply options while maintaining current energy needs. This move is likely to be viewed differently by Serbia’s Western partners and Russia.
