At the same time, the news agency said that "the European Energy Community will deal with Serbia, which has a similar agreement with Russia, but it is not an EU member."

Our stand stays the same- intergovernmental agreements on South Stream are contrary to EU regulations and should be reviewed or adjusted, Sabine Berger, spokeswoman for EU Commissioner for Energy Gunther Oettinger, told Tanjug.
