"We have to pay the price of the war on European soil": Vucic says Serbia can survive without Russian energy carriers

This was reported by Reuters.

"We have to pay the price of the war on European soil," Vucic said, at the same time assuring that the country will not suffer because of it.

"We will take oil from Iraq. I will also try to talk to Venezuela. We can take from anywhere. We are not disgusted," he said.

Vučić also said that the gas storages in the country are so full that the reserves will be enough for 60 days, if the contracted reserves in neighboring Hungary are also used.

In addition, Belgrade will seek additional coal for thermal power plants, which generate more than two-thirds of the country's electricity - in particular, it plans to buy about two million tons from China and Indonesia.
