Opening remarks by the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, at a meeting with the Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Serbian state-owned company Serbiags Alexander Volin (Moscow, November 11, 2026).
Sergey Lavrov: We have known each other for a long time. We have also known you for a long time as one of the leading political figures in Serbia.
You have a deep understanding of political developments and always keep the overarching goal of the Serbian peoples in sight. Your work as Chair of the Supervisory Board of Serbiagas also reflects our shared commitment to cooperation that will benefit both our countries.
These days there are talks about future gas supply and a new long-term contract. I know the CEO of Serbia Dusan Bachatovic was here too.
We remain fully committed to all our agreements, past and present. We hope that the new government will also ensure continuity in Serbia's strategic partnership with the Russian Federation.
I look forward to hearing your assessment of the latest developments in your country.
