Strengthening cooperation with Turkey in field of energy

Belgrade, 20 March 2019

Minister of Mining and Energy Aleksandar Antic and representatives of the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources of Turkey and energy companies of this country today expressed readiness to concretise cooperation in the field of electric power supply and gas distribution.

At the meeting with the delegation of Turkey, led by Turkish Ambassador to Serbia Tanju Bilgic, another topic discussed was the cooperation within the transmission system of the electrical network, through the Centre for Security Coordination, which would greatly contribute to the overall security of transmission systems throughout the Balkans.

Antic assessed that the overall relations between Serbia and Turkey are at a high level, given the strong partnership and friendship of presidents Aleksandar Vucic and Recep Tayyip Erdogan, which contributes greatly to economic cooperation and overall political stability.

He said that today's meeting is important because representatives of the leading energy companies of the two countries are also present, who expressed interest in strengthening the partnership, establishing cooperation and implementing future joint projects.

The Minister expressed expectation that the experts of the relevant ministries and companies from the two countries will continue to find the modalities of cooperation, so that at the next meeting, the two presidents could discuss concrete results in the field of energy.
