Serbian Government Urged to Prioritize Vertical Gas Corridor Amidst Energy Transition

Serbia's new government, formed by the student-led 'Student List' movement, is being urged to uphold its commitment to the Vertical Gas Corridor project. This initiative aims to diversify the region's gas supply by transporting liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Greece and Azerbaijani gas from the Trans Adriatic Pipeline north through Bulgaria and Romania to Moldova and Ukraine. The expanded western branch of this corridor, connecting Serbia through North Macedonia, is projected to add approximately 1.5 bcm per year of import capacity by 2028. This would enable Serbia to meet its annual gas demand of 2.7 bcm from non-Russian sources, reducing its heavy reliance on Russian gas supplied by Gazprom. The 'Student List' movement, which won a majority in parliament after President Aleksandar Vučić's resignation, has expressed ambiguous stances on EU and Russian alignment, making the commitment to the Vertical Gas Corridor a critical test of its policy direction. The project aligns with the movement's core objectiv...

A declassified 1993 CIA document reveals concerns about a potential military conflict between Albania and Serbia, stemming from tensions between Belgrade and Pristina.

In 1993, Albania's military largely consisted of outdated Soviet and Chinese armaments, lacking sufficient ammunition, training, and transport for intensive combat operations. The document notes that Albania's Ministry of Defense was attempting to modernize its forces by seeking international assistance and reducing troop numbers to eliminate communist elements. Despite these efforts, the report concluded that Albania's army could only manage limited border defense against small incursions and would be unable to withstand a serious Serbian attack with modern weaponry. The report also indicated that while Tirana would likely avoid direct confrontation, i...
