The feasibility study for the Serbia–North Macedonia gas interconnector has been completed, while the preparation of project and technical documentation is in its final phase, Serbia’s Ministry of Mining and Energy announced after a meeting in Skopje.
According to Saša Koković, Acting Assistant Minister for Oil and Gas, the construction is expected to be completed by 2027, with the commissioning planned for 2028.
Jovana Joksimović, Assistant Minister for International Cooperation and European Integration, emphasized that the interconnector is of strategic importance for strengthening energy security in both Serbia and the wider region.
The project aims to create a bidirectional gas connection between Serbia and North Macedonia, ensuring access to new supply routes and sources. The interconnector will be about 70 kilometers long—47 km in Serbia and 23 km in North Macedonia—connecting Vranje in Serbia with Klečovce in North Macedonia.
North Macedonia’s Minister of Energy, Mining and Mineral Resources Sanja Božinovska described the interconnector as one of the most important regional infrastructure projects, highlighting its role in improving energy stability and diversification.
She added that the project strengthens both countries’ positions on Europe’s energy map, contributing to a better-connected and more resilient Balkan region.
