BAKU, Azerbaijan, Dec.22. Serbia and Azerbaijan are discussing a new gas-fired plant project, said Serbia’s Finance Minister Sinisa Mali, as he visited Baku on Dec.21, Trend reports via Tanjug.

He pointed out that investing in the energy sector is an absolute priority for Serbia and that Azerbaijan is a potential partner.

"Azerbaijan is a potential partner for Serbia when it comes to both types of energy," Mali said, noting that the visit to Azerbaijan was very important and that his meetings with the country's ministers of economy and energy had been good and constructive.

"We discussed Serbia becoming a part of the Southern Gas Corridor, which is very important for us and which needs to diversify the way gas is supplied to our country. We discussed building a new gas-fired power plant in Serbia as part of boosting the capacities of our energy system, and that will be the subject of discussions in the weeks to come," Mali said.

He said an undersea cable that would supply power from Azerbaijan to Romania and Hungary is an important matter.

He said many investors in Serbia want to use energy generated from renewable sources and that, for that reason, the issue became "a part of the package discussed in Azerbaijan."
