Providing energy security alongside fight against climate change

Belgrade/Moscow, 14 October 2021

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Mining and Energy Zorana Mihajlovic said in Moscow today that the main topic for the most important energy actors in the world is how to ensure energy security and at the same time fight climate change.

Mihajlovic, who is attending 2021 Russian Energy Week in Moscow, said that the energy sector in the whole world faces many challenges, and the same goes for the energy sector of Serbia.

She spoke with Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjarto about natural gas supply, potential joint projects and cooperation in the use of green hydrogen.

The hydrogen strategy will be an integral part of a new energy development strategy whose preparation is underway, Mihajlovic said. She added that Hungary has already adopted this document and that exchange of experience and work on a joint approach to green hydrogen would be of great importance for Serbia.

The Deputy Prime Minister underlined that along the existing Balkan Stream gas pipeline, the project of construction of Serbia-Bulgaria gas interconnection is also important for energy security of the region as it will enable diversification of natural gas routes and suppliers.

Szijjarto highlighted the importance of stable supply of Hungary with natural gas through the territory of Serbia and expressed readiness of the Hungarian side for a further improvement of relations in the field of energy.
