(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).
