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.
Sporazum je predložen otprilike dva meseca nakon što je delegacija na čelu sa Aleksejem Milerom, generalnim direktorom Gazproma, ruskog monopola za naftu i gas, posetila Srbiju da bi razgovarala o saradnji u energetskom sektoru.
