Connectivity with neighbouring countries in oil, gas sector
Belgrade/Dubai,
3 February 2026
Đedović Handanović said that, given the increasingly complex political situation in Europe and worldwide, Serbia recognises the need for connectivity with neighbouring countries in the oil and gas sector in order to enhance energy security and reduce the risks of potential supply disruptions that are beyond its control.
Thanks to its strategic geographical position, Serbia is located at the crossroads of the most important energy corridors, which provide an opportunity to strengthen its role as a transit country and increase security of supply for citizens and businesses, Đedović Handanović emphasised.
The Minister particularly highlighted Serbia’s commitment to strategic cooperation with countries that have experience and expertise in the field of nuclear energy.
Serbia views nuclear energy as a potential pillar of long-term energy security. The construction of a nuclear power plant would strengthen the country’s energy security and ensure sufficient energy to meet the growing needs of the population and the economy, she said.
Đedović Handanović also spoke about Serbia’s strategic cooperation with partners around the world – with Russia in ensuring stable gas supplies, with China in the construction of production capacities and mining projects, with the United States in the development of a large-scale 1 GW solar power plant, with France in the modernisation of the distribution network and technical support for the integration of nuclear energy, as well as with the EU in the energy transition and the management of critical mineral raw materials.
