"Push for diversification, not policy shift"

Vucic spoke after AP published an interview with him, saying that under U.S. pressure, Serbia was ready to reduce dependence on Russian gas supplies, and describing it as a major policy shift.

"Serbia should secure pipelines, interconnectors with certain countries so that it can have a steady gas supply, and if possible, at a lower price than today," Vucic told reporters, when asked whether the readiness for the diversification of gas supply sources means a policy shift toward the United States.

Vucic pointed out that in 2019 Russia will stop supplying gas to Europe via Ukraine, which will also cut the gas supply to Serbia from the direction of Hungary.

At a joint press conference with German Federal Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development Gerd Mueller, the Serbian prime minister said that he had underscored on several occasions over the past five months that Serbia is ready to consider the supply of gas from different sources.

“We support the diversification and we will try to gain access to gas from all sources,” said Vucic.

It is the job of every prime minister to ensure energy security of their country, said Vucic.
