Serbian Minister of Energy, Dubravka Djedović and Romanian Minister of Energy, Sebastian Burduja, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to construct a new gas interconnection between their countries. The project will see the creation of a 13-kilometer section of the pipeline in Serbia and an 86-kilometer section in Romania, with an expected capacity of at least 1.6 billion cubic meters of gas. The Serbian segment is slated for completion by 2027.
This new gas route will connect Serbia’s Mokrin hub with Romania’s BRHA gas pipeline, enhancing the security of natural gas supply for both nations. Minister Djedović highlighted the long-standing energy cooperation between Serbia and Romania, which has been crucial in ensuring a stable electricity supply for both citizens and industries. In 2023, electricity trade constituted 28% of the total exchange between the two countries, underscoring the importance of this partnership.
The new pipeline, alongside existing and future connections with Romania, Bulgaria, and North Macedonia, positions Serbia as a key transit country and a vital partner in safeguarding the energy security of Central and Eastern Europe.
