Serbia signs joint statement on secure gas supply in Europe

Belgrade/Washington, 24 February 2026

Minister of Mining and Energy Dubravka Đedović Handanović participated in the Transatlantic Gas Security Summit in Washington D.C., where she signed a joint statement in which the signatory countries agree to work on improving the resilience of the natural gas market and ensuring a secure and affordable natural gas supply in Eastern and Central Europe.

Đedović Handanović said that Serbia supported the US initiative aimed at strengthening the resilience of the natural gas market and achieving the regional goal of security of gas supply, as well as developing and strengthening relations between Europe and the United States in the energy sector within the Partnership for Transatlantic Energy Cooperation (P-TEC).

She explained that the signatory countries agreed in a joint statement to work on ensuring a secure and affordable supply of natural gas, using existing infrastructure and, if necessary, building new ones, in order to increase gas deliveries and achieve regional energy goals.

According to her, this does not mean a complete shift to only one supplier, but rather increasing energy security.

By building gas interconnections to North Macedonia and Romania in the next two years, along with the existing Serbia-Bulgaria gas interconnection, we will have the capacity to transmit around four billion cubic metres of gas per year, Đedović Handanović noted.

With this infrastructure, as she pointed out, we gain access to new gas markets as well as new sources and new supply routes.

The joint statement was also signed by our neighbours – Romania, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and we agreed to consult regularly in order to achieve goals and provide alternatives in the event of new disruptions or uncertainties, the minister concluded.

The Transatlantic Gas Security Summit was organised by the US National Council for Energy Dominance.
