According to Russian news agencies, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev suggested to the Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic to build a regional energy node in Serbia. Under this proposal, Serbia will serve as a crossroad of the future South Stream pipelines to Croatia, Republika Srpska, Kosovo and FYR Macedonia.
Medvedev made this proposal to Serbian prime minister at a meeting in Moscow where Vucic also met with Russian President Vladimir Putin. At the same time the U.S. is offering Croatia to become an energy hub.
