Tender for Construction of Nis-Dimitrovgrad Gas Pipeline in Next 10 Days, Minister Announces

The tender for the contractor for the works on the Nis-Dimitrovgrad gas pipeline will be opened in seven to ten days, said the minister of mining and energy of Serbia, Zorana Mihajlovic, as announced on the ministry’s website.

– The construction of the gas interconnection with Bulgaria, the Nis-Dimitrovgrad gas pipeline, is the first step toward the diversification of not just the gas routes, but also the gas suppliers and a possibility of receiving gas from other sources, including not just Azerbaijan, but also the LNG terminal in Greece and the future Eastern Mediterranean Gas Pipeline – Mihajlovic said.

She emphasized that the money for the construction of a gas interconnection had been secured from European funds and loans from European banks and that the plan was for the gas pipeline to be operational in 2023.

– This will also enable gas stability, but also bigger possibilities for connecting within the region, primarily with Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and the gas supply of Kosovo and Metohija – she said.
