Gas arriving in Europe via TurkStream pipeline
Serbia on Jan. 1 said it had begun delivering natural gas to Europe through the TurkStream pipeline and a new route crossing Turkey and Bulgaria. The 403-kilometer (250 miles) Serbian section was commissioned in a ceremony in Gospodjinci in the municipality of northern Zabalj. Serbia received its first shipment of gas Wednesday from the TurkStream pipeline project which connects Russia to Europe. A week ago, Serbia held a successful test run of the project. The commercial opening of the section of the pipeline that passes through Serbia from the Bulgarian to the Hungarian border was held as one of the first projects of 2021.—AA
