In a nutshell, Russia's oil and gas potential, export and the key oil and gas pipelines in East
Asia make Russia a giant energy platform. Crossing its borders annually are hundreds of
millions of tons of oil and hundreds of billions of cubic meters of gas to Europe and the
rest of the world.
One significant step is the accord signed between Serbia and Russia on building one of
the sections of the European South Stream main gas pipeline via Serbia and linking the
other former Yugoslavian republics and other countries to this gas pipeline run by
Gazprom and European Union.
The Russian president's visit confirmed that cooperation in the realm of energy and cor-
recting the mistake of Kosovo independence were at the root of Serbian-Russian rela-
tions.
