Summary/Abstract: The declaration made in December by Russian President Vladimir Putin cancelled the plans to build the South Stream gas pipeline, controversial among most of the EU countries. For Serbia, it means both the necessity to look for new ways to change the gas supply routes and a chance to consider the diversification of sources. For the EU, it opens the prospect of closer cooperation with Belgrade as Serbia, a country that will probably become a member of the Union within a decade, develops its new energy strategy.
