Romania is interested in exporting electricity to the regional market in southeastern Europe, including Serbia, Romania’s President Klaus Iohannis said on July 16, during his visit to Serbia.

“The exports could be made through specialized companies that operate on the two markets,” said Iohannis, after his meeting with Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic.

Romania and Serbia have several common economic projects, such as the Timisoara-Belgrade highway and energetic interconnectivity.

Last year, Romania’s Oltenia energy company (CE Oltenia) closed a deal with the Serbian authorities to export coal. The contract, which went through an intermediary firm, was suspended this year.
