Bajatovic said that the first exchange of papers with the Russian gas company is expected to take place in the following days.
Last November, during his visit to Russia, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic agreed made a deal, according to which, the price of natural gas supplied to Serbia in the next six months will be 270 dollars per 1,000 cubic meters. He added that the country will save up to 300 million dollars, considering the difference between the agreed price and current market price in Europe.
