Serbian premier says Serbia can be a bridge in South Stream project
ISTANBUL (A.A) - November 17, 2011 - Serbia's prime minister said on Thursday that his country could act like a bridge between countries that did not directly join the South Stream project.
Mirko Cvetkovic said Serbia, which was situated in the transition point of strategic energy and transportation routes, was ready to take part in other projects.
Energy strategies should be set as a first step, Cvetkovic said during the Third Black Sea Energy & Economic Forum in Istanbul.
Cvetkovic said Serbia was ready to do everything it could to support regional energy network, adding that Serbia was getting more and more important and becoming a transit country in European market thanks to the role it would assume in natural gas storing facilities.
South Stream is a proposed pipeline project routed from Russia to Bulgaria and further to Italy and Austria through Turkish waters in the Black Sea.
