Greece is moving to formalize a new natural gas supply route for Southeast Europe, with agreements for the Vertical Gas Corridor expected to be signed in September.
The initiative would establish a dedicated pipeline infrastructure connecting Greece to Serbia, North Macedonia, and other regional partners, creating an alternative supply path for the Balkans.
Gas operators from the participating nations met in Athens to discuss the technical and commercial framework for the project.
The discussions focused on integrating the corridor into the broader regional energy network, aiming to enhance supply security and market connectivity across the Balkans.
This development aligns with earlier reports that Greece is structuring long-term supply arrangements with at least six countries in the region.
The Vertical Gas Corridor represents a strategic shift toward diversified import routes, reducing dependency on traditional northern supply lines and strengthening energy ties between Greece and its northern neighbors.
