BELGRADE, December 30. /TASS/. Serbia does not plan to give up Russian gas
for more expensive liquefied gas to please the West, Serbian President
Aleksandar Vucic told Studio B TV channel on Saturday.

"I will not pay double for liquefied gas to please someone in the West. I
will buy cheap gas so that people can live and industry can develop. Those
are not my money, those are people's money, state money," Vucic said.

The topic of gas will dominate the agenda of the upcoming visit of Russian
President Vladimir Putin to Belgrade on January 17. "The main thing for us
is to reach an agreement with Russians. We want that, and we will do it,"
the Serbian leader noted.

He also said that at the upcoming meeting, the sides will discuss the
situation in Kosovo, as well as touch upon the situation in Ukraine and
Syria.

Serbian media reported earlier that during Putin visit to Belgrade, the
sides plan to sign 20 agreements. The two presidents are expected to discuss
the implementation of joint projects in energy, infrastructure and
innovation technologies. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yury Borisov said
that the sides may also sign an agreement on the construction of a nuclear
center in Serbia.
