Faced with global energy challenges, the countries in the region are increasingly investing in the diversification of energy sources and supply routes, with natural gas being one of the key sources.
This is why the construction of a gas interconnection between Serbia and North Macedonia is becoming a key strategic project, aimed not only at increasing supply security but also at contributing to the development of energy infrastructure throughout the region.
This interconnection enhances energy independence, allowing Serbia and North Macedonia to rely on a broader range of gas sources. The planned pipeline route, which will be 47 kilometers long on the Serbian side, is part of a broader European energy network and is an important step toward ensuring a stable natural gas supply for both countries.

According to the Serbian government’s website, the total value of the work on the Serbian side is estimated at 42 million euros, and the project is expected to be completed by 2027. Preparations are underway, with key documents such as the Spatial Plan and Feasibility Study currently being developed, financed by European funds.
Additionally, through this interconnection, Serbia will significantly improve the distribution network in the southern parts of the country and enhance storage capacities for natural gas, which is crucial for supply stability.
By connecting with the Greece–North Macedonia pipeline, which is expected to be completed next year, both countries will become part of a broader energy corridor that will enable a stable supply of gas from Greece to Serbia, strengthening the energy security of the entire region.
