/PanARMENIAN.Net/ During the Novi Sad summit which brought 14 state
leaders together to discuss economic, energy and European integration
issues, Serbian President Boris Tadiæ expressed support for "Southern
Stream" and "Nabucco" projects.

"Great advantage for Serbia is that it is on way of ‘Southern Stream’
pipeline. The realization of the given project will not only increase
gas supply volumes to Serbia, but also ensure security and stability
for EU member states. The economic crisis we faced this winter prompted
the importance of diversifying routes and sources of gas supply. In
that regard, Nabucco pipeline construction will ensure stability of
gas supply."

Balkan energy juncture, according to Tadic, already acquires increasing
geopolitical and geo-economic importance. Gas pipelines extending
to Central and Southern Europe from Russia, Central Asia and Near
East intersect on that territory, 1news.az quotes Serbian president
as saying.
