The European Commission has already postponed the publication of the roadmap for the final cessation of supplies from Russia.

"The government and Serbiyagaz are working closely with Gazprom on the potential construction of new gas pipelines including to Hungary. The decision will be made only jointly if Gazprom needs this route," a Serbian government source told Izvestia.
