Background
In 2011, Serbia and Slovakia agreed to build a 121 km regional gas pipeline from Aleksandrovac, through Brus, to Novi Pazar and Tutin. Its expected capacity was 100,000 cubic meters per hour and was to be completed by 2013.[7]
The Government of Serbia uses the project code "RG-09-04 / 2" to refer to the project.[6][8][9][10]
The "High Pressure Pipeline Aleksandrovac-Novi Pazar-Tutin Pipeline" project was presented as a Serbian future gas infrastructure project at the IENE: 11th SEE Energy Dialogue in June 2018 as part of the country's development plan.[1]
The pipeline is referred to as a distribution pipeline, however, the length of the pipeline as well as it's capacity and pressure suggest that it is a transmission pipeline.[11] While the pipeline purpose is to enable the distribution of natural gas to customers it can be considered mid-stream.
According to the Mine Action Centre of the Republic of Serbia, survey and clearance work for the Aleksandrovac-Novi Pazar-Tutin project was underway as of March 4, 2020.[6] On March 11, 2020, a unexploded ordnance was found along the pipeline route. The Sector for Emergency Management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Serbia carried out demolition of the grenade.[8]
In its 2020-2029 development plan, Transportgas Srbija LLC Novi Sad stated that the project was expected to be commissioned in 2023.[4] As of March 2022, construction was reported to be "proceeding according to plan".[12]
There has been no official confirmation that the pipeline has been commissioned. Evidence from Serbian government budgets suggest construction was ongoing in 2024.[13]
