All the disagreements over the Russian-Serbian energy agreement are formally purely economic in nature. What is the real value of NIS, Serbia’s largest oil company, and how much should Gazprom invest in its restructuring? Where will the branch of South Stream go and what will its capacity be? When and in what volume will the reservoir at Banatski Dvor be reconstructed? Those are only the biggest questions the Russian and Serbian governments have been arguing about for several years already. Besides them, there are dozens more, maybe hundreds more, points that could be subject to ongoing discussion. ()
