InSerbia: Serbia ready to discuss South Stream issue with Russia and EU

Serbian Energy Minister Zorana Mihajlovic said Monday that Serbia is ready to talk with Russia and the EU about possible legal issues concerning South Stream, the international gas pipeline project.

“The South Stream works are underway and things are running their course, and we are to discuss the legal part,” Mihajlovic told a press conference in Belgrade.

“I was informed, just as I said earlier, that the government had not received any letter from the European Commission (EC) or the EU regarding South Stream,” Mihajlovic said, adding, however, that she received from Energy Community Secretariat Director Janez Kopac a copy of a letter from 2010 that the Community sent to then Serbian Energy Minister Peter Skundric warning him of all the problems.
