Vučić, Putin "to discuss Serbia's gas debt"

Vučić said on Sunday he and Putin would talk about the Serbian gas debt issue, stressing that there was "no gas crisis facing Serbia's people and enterprises."

The prime minister said he and Putin would discuss "models of financing, methods of payment and deadlines" for the payment of the Serbian debt, "which nobody said was not there."

In its report last week, the Belgrade-based daily Danas suggested that during his meeting with Putin in Belgrade in October, Vučić "refused to guarantee" that Serbia would pay its debt by March.

Serbia's Energy Minister Aleksandar Antić said earlier that the gas deliveries to Serbia had been reduced by 28 percent over the previous few days, but stressed that Serbia's energy system was stable and that the country had enough gas.

Antić said that the reason for the drop in the gas supplies to Serbia was "the fact that Gazprom Export had curbed the supplies to all other countries along the Ukraine transit route, but also because of Serbia's debts totaling USD 224 million."
