The Bosnian Serb Republic plans to join the South Stream gas pipeline project, which will bring Russian gas to Europe via the Black Sea, Milorad Dodik, prime minister of Bosnia's Serb Republic, said on Thursday.

MOSCOW, September 16 (RIA Novosti) - The Bosnian Serb Republic plans to join the South Stream gas pipeline project, which will bring Russian gas to Europe via the Black Sea, and consume about one billion cubic meters of gas annually, Milorad Dodik, prime minister of Bosnia's Serb Republic, said on Thursday.

The Serb Republic plans to build a 480 kilometer pipeline in northern Bosnia with capacity of up to 1.5 billion cubic meters and link it to the South Stream pipeline.

, Russian gas giant Gazprom will carry out a feasibility study for the project, and then inform the Bosnian Serb Republic government of its decision, under a joint memorandum on cooperation signed by Dodik and Russian Energy Minister Sergei Shmatko.

"I think we'll need a couple of months to clear up all the details," Dodik said.
