Gas flows from Azerbaijan to Serbia have been halted and it is unclear when they will resume, news agency Tanjug quoted Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić as saying on 11 January. "I got information from our Azerbaijan brothers and friends that because of force majeure, and problems they have, we as of today cannot count on 1.7 million cubic metres of gas that was coming every day," Vučić told reporters. Vučić said it was not clear when the gas flows would resume.

In 2023, Serbia, which uses more than 3 billion cubic metres of gas a year, signed a deal with Azerbaijan to purchase 400 million cubic metres of natural gas per year from 2024. The rest of the gas comes from Russia. Serbia, which aims to join the European Union, is under pressure to reduce its dependence on Russia for gas and oil.
