Serbia has taken another institutional step in restructuring its gas sector by formally designating a company to oversee and manage the country’s natural gas transmission system. The government confirmed the move at its most recent session, finalizing a process that has been ongoing for more than a year. Transportgas Srbija has been named the national […]
Winter demand is placing significant pressure on Romania’s natural gas system, as colder temperatures trigger rapid use of seasonal reserves and push domestic prices higher. Latest figures indicate that roughly one third of the gas set aside for the heating season has already been consumed. After a relatively mild December, January brought a sharp drop

Data released by DESFA, Greece’s gas transmission system operator, indicate a year of strong momentum for the country’s natural gas sector in 2025, marked by rising domestic consumption, sharply higher exports and heavier use of critical infrastructure. Gas use within Greece increased to 70.16 TWh, up 6% year on year, confirming the continued role of

Several US infrastructure companies are exploring potential involvement in the construction of a gas pipeline linking Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, with Bechtel emerging as one of the most prominent interested parties. Representatives of the US construction giant have recently been in Bosnia and Herzegovina to assess the commercial and regulatory conditions for possible participation
Serbia’s gas market is no longer a purely contractual story about volumes bought from one supplier and delivered through one route. It is becoming a system defined by three constraints that now dominate every economic outcome: how much gas Serbia can physically import through alternative corridors, how much it can withdraw from storage during winter
South-East Europe’s gas market has stopped behaving like a collection of national utilities buying pipeline molecules and passing them through regulated tariffs. It is turning into a corridor-and-liquidity system where the marginal price is increasingly set by LNG access, storage withdrawal rates, and cross-border interconnector capacity rather than by any single long-term contract. The region
Hungary’s expansion in Serbia is no longer a set of isolated deals. It is increasingly legible as a two-track strategy that uses MOL on the hydrocarbons and retail side, and MVM Group on the power, engineering, and system-integration side, with Serbia positioned as both a demand hub and a transit corridor between Central Europe and the wider Balkans. The
When the CBAM lens that has already reshaped thinking on green electricity is applied rigorously to natural gas, the conclusion is stark. Gas does not behave like a neutral transition fuel in a CBAM-constrained export economy. It behaves like a structural risk variable whose price volatility, emissions intensity, and perception by EU buyers increasingly determine

Southeast Europe’s gas market entered 2025 in a structurally different position from where it stood only a few years earlier. The transformation has been driven less by short-term price movements and more by a deliberate geopolitical and infrastructure strategy in which the United States has assumed a central role. The November 2025 analysis by the

The energy landscape in Southeast Europe in 2025 is defined by several converging pressures: enduring structural dependence on imported natural gas, ongoing price segmentation, evolving infrastructure tied to LNG and interconnectors, and the region’s shifting role at the nexus of European energy security policy. These dynamics are shaped by both market forces and geopolitical shifts, reflecting broader
