Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić said he expects an addendum to the bilateral gas agreement with Russia to be extended after a one-hour phone conversation with President Vladimir Putin. The current addendum expires within days; Vučić said he was confident a renewal would take effect on Monday.
Vučić put Serbia’s Russian gas price at about €318 per 1,000 cubic metres, compared with €868 per 1,000 cubic metres on the Dutch TTF trading hub. He cited the figures in a video posted to Instagram on Saturday.
The Serbian leader said they discussed bilateral ties, regional issues, the war in Ukraine and other matters important to both countries. Russian state media, citing the Kremlin, said the call also covered strategic energy cooperation, gas supplies, oil, transport and healthcare.
Serbia maintains close contacts with Moscow and has not joined sanctions against Russia. Poland’s Centre for Eastern Studies warned in 2021 that extensions of favourable gas terms could be driven by short-term political considerations and deepen Serbia’s dependence on Moscow.
In May 2026, Vučić travelled to Moscow for events marking the end of World War II in Europe and met Putin officially for the first time since 2022.
