ITAR-TASS: No decision to halt South Stream gas project yet — Serbian prime minister

Serbia’s government has not taken a decision on the South Stream project, Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic has said.

The prime minister commented on Deputy PM Zoran Mijailovic’s statement saying on Monday that Serbia had to suspend the construction of the gas pipeline due to Bulgaria’s decision.

Serbia will have to postpone the laying of the Russia-led South Stream pipeline after Bulgaria froze the construction of its segment, Serbian Minister for Construction, Transport and Infrastructure Zorana Mihajlovic said Monday.

“Bulgaria is a hub and therefore, until Bulgaria’s negotiations with Brussels and the EU negotiations with Russia finish, we cannot move forward. But nevertheless, the results of both scenarios will mean the postponement of works in Serbia,” she said.
