Kremlin does not rule out Putin-Vucic contacts on gas supplies
The Kremlin left open the possibility of talks between Vladimir Putin and Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic on gas, as Serbia seeks to extend its long-term supply agreement with Russia.
The Kremlin has said it does not rule out contacts between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic on the subject of gas supplies.
The statement follows comments from Aleksandar Vulin, leader of the Serbian Movement of Socialists party, who said Serbia would like to prolong its gas supply agreement with Russia for the long term.
Serbia's energy priorities
Serbia has relied on Russian gas supplies as a key part of its energy mix, and statements from Serbian political figures have periodically underscored Belgrade's interest in maintaining stable, long-term arrangements with Moscow on energy. Vulin's comments reflect that continued interest from within Serbia's political establishment.
The Kremlin's acknowledgment that contacts between the two leaders on gas are possible suggests the topic remains active in bilateral discussions, though no specific meeting or timeline has been confirmed.
Further details on the status of negotiations over a long-term gas supply agreement between Serbia and Russia have not been disclosed.
