On December 31, Dubravka Djedovic-Handanovic, the Serbian Minister of Mines and Energy, announced that Serbia expects gas supplies from Azerbaijan of up to 2 million cubic meters daily during the winter.

Djedovic-Handanovic stated that approximately 440 million cubic meters of gas are currently stored in the Banatski Dvor facility and Hungarian CCGTs. She also noted the commencement of the Banatski Dvor expansion project, aimed at significantly increasing its capacity. Serbia has secured gas supplies from both Russia and Azerbaijan, ensuring stable and reliable access to energy resources.
