Why it matters
The discussions centered on extending the Russian gas arrangement, which Vuciq expects to continue at a favorable price of about €318 per thousand cubic metres, compared to a world market price of around €868 per thousand cubic metres. The terms of this extension are viewed as having immediate consequences for Serbia’s economy and foreign policy.
