| Russia on Friday pledged to complete a strategic gas pipeline through Serbia by 2015 — despite the global financial crisis — paving the way for its immediate purchase of Serbia’s state energy monopoly.The head of Russia’s oil arm of Gazprom, Alexei Miller, said in Belgrade that the Russian energy giant is to buy a 51 percent stake in Serbia’s Naftna Industrija Srbije (NIS) for an estimated 400 million euros, with the deal expected to be signed by the end of this month. Serbia had said it would only sell the company if Russia committed to building the pipeline. “An agreement was reached today to sign” the package deal to purchase NIS and to build the natural gas pipeline through Serbia, Miller said after his talks with Serbian President Boris Tadic.
The $13 billion pipeline to be laid under the Black Sea would carry Russian natural gas to Bulgaria and Serbia before branching out to points in Western Europe. |
