World Bulletin: Serbia struggling with South Stream suspension

Belgrade finds itself in a difficult position with regards to Russia's decision to suspend the construction of South Stream project, according to the Serbian FM.

At a press conference held in the capital Belgrade on Sunday, Serbian minister of foreign affairs Ivica Dacic said that the project was in the interest of Serbia.

"Belgrade was never an obstacle. Non-implementation of that project would be a great pity, as Serbia would remain without an alternative route for gas supply," asserted Dacic.

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on Monday that Russia was canceling the South Stream gas pipeline project that would carry 63 billion cubic meters of natural gas annually to Europe via Bulgaria.
