The leading Serbian natural gas supplier, public company “Srbijagas” and the Hungarian company FGSZ have connected the Balkan Stream gas pipeline on the border with Hungary, which will in future deliver gas from Turkey to Central Europe via Bulgaria and Serbia.
It is said that, when two pipes that come from two countries are connected on the border, it is called the golden connection. It represents the final step of the long-term big deal, by which Serbia finally solves the issue of gas supply from another direction, and not only through Ukraine. The first quantities of transit gas through Serbia to Central Europe start on October 1st.
