The Bulgaria-Serbia Interconnector (IBS) will be launched with a ceremony attended by the Presidents of the two countries, Rumen Radev and Aleksandar Vucic.

The gas pipeline has a capacity of 1.8 billion cubic metres of natural gas per year and is an important tool for diversifying natural gas supplies and ensuring energy security in South-East Europe.
