LNG

Serbia, the Balkan state that was part of the former Yugoslavia and has been a candidate nation for 10 years to be a member of the European Union, has completed an interconnector pipeline to Bulgaria giving the Serbs supply options of regasified LNG from Greece or pipeline gas from Azerbaijan to replace Russian supplies.

Greece, the leading nation in liquefied natural gas shipping, has held a ceremony attended by the Greek and Bulgarian prime ministers marking the advancement of the Alexandroupolis floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) and revealing that a second FSRU was planned.
