Vucic: Serbia needs to ensure itself secure supply of gas

Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said Wednesday that Serbia should ensure itself a steady supply of gas during a period starting from 2019

A gas supply diversification is necessary to ensure energy security in the country and it could help reduce the price of that fuel, Vucic told at a press conference after a meeting he had with European Commission Vice-President for Energy Union Maros Sefcovic in Belgrade.
