The parties expressed deep appreciation for their bilateral relations, noting the continuously developing partnership in a number of areas, including gas storage.

As part of the meeting, Alexey Miller and Aleksandar Antic, Minister of Mining and Energy of the Republic of Serbia, inked a roadmap in the presence of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic. The document provides for a number of measures to implement a plan aimed at expanding the Serbian gas transmission system.
