(ANSA) - BELGRADE - Romania has offered Serbia the
opportunity to participate in the energy project AGRI
(Azerbaijan-Georgia-Romania Interconnector), which aims to
deliver gas from Azerbaijan to Europe, according to Serbian
energy minister Aleksandar Antic.
Antic said that Belgrade and Bucharest intend to deal
together with the possibility of building a gas pipeline
crossing the two countries. ''AGRI is one of the projects in
which Serbia might be willing to get involved'', the minister
said after a meeting today in Belgrade with Romania's energy
minister Andrei Dominic Gerea.
''We would like to have a bi-directional pipeline, with an
annual capacity of at least one billion cubic metres. The
project costs will be known after the technical details will
have been defined'', Antic said.
The AGRI gas pipeline should deliver between 5 and 10 billion
cubic metres of gas per year, and a feasibility study is
underway. (ANSA).
