Kos: It is a lie that the transfer of Russian gas to Serbia will be prevented

It is a lie that the transfer of Russian gas to Serbia will be prevented, said European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos in her address to the European Parliament.

As she stated, the decision of the Council of the European Union (EU) to ban the import of Russian gas, which also applies to the transit of this energy source through the EU, does not imply that member states will interrupt the transfer to third countries like Serbia.

– The European Union is not interrupting the supply of Serbia. These are lies. Instead, the EU supports Serbia in diversifying all sources of supply and integrating into the EU energy networks – she stated.

Kos also assessed that Serbia’s close relations with Moscow and Beijing, accompanied by hostile rhetoric towards the European Union (EU), were contrary to European values and standards. According to her, Brussels expects Serbia to make a strategic choice, as well as concrete steps in democratic principles and reforms.
