Sporazum je predložen neka dva mjeseca nakon što je jedna delegacija, pod vodstvom izvršnog direktora ruskog naftnog i gasnog monopola Gazprom Alexeia Millera, posjetila Srbiju i razgovarala o saradnji u energetskom sektoru.
The deal was proposed about two months after a delegation, led by Russian oil and gas monopoly Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller, visited Serbia to discuss co-operation in the energy sector.
