Report: Serbian section of TurkStream not ready before spring 2021

MOSCOW, Nov 25 (PRIME) -- The extension of Russia’s TurkStream natural gas pipeline into Serbia will not be ready before the spring of 2021, S&P Global Platts reported on Wednesday citing industrial sources familiar with the situation.

“The Serbian section of the TurkStream gas pipeline extension is not expected to be ready until at least spring 2021, missing a previous target for first gas to flow by the end of 2020,” the agency said.

The sources confirmed comments by Vojislav Vuletic, president of Serbia's natural gas association, who had said that the Bulgarian and Serbian sections of TurkStream extension had been connected, but that the compressor station in Serbia was only due to be finished in May 2021, it added.
