In a post on Twitter, the diplomat also said that starting in 2020, gas deliveries via the Trans-Balkan Corridor, going through Ukraine, would cease.
"Serbia will be receiving not only uninterrupted supplies of gas at a favorable price, as is the case now, but also significant income from transit (fees)," Chepurin wrote, Sputnik is reporting.
The Russian ambassador's tweet in Serbian:
Од 2020. године ће се прекинути испоруке гаса Трансбалканским коридором преко Украјине. Истовремено ће прорадити оба крака “Турског тока”. Србија ће непрекидно добијати не само гас по повољној цени, као и сада, већ и знатне приходе од транзита.
