Explosives found at the weekend near the Serbian extension of the TurkStream pipeline, which delivers Russian gas to Hungary, were US-made, the head of Belgrade's Military Security Agency (VBA), Duro Jovanic, has said.
On Sunday, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic announced that explosives of "devastating power" had been discovered several hundred meters away from the key energy infrastructure in the municipality of Kanjiza, around 10 km from the Hungarian border. Had they been detonated, they would have caused gas outages in Hungary and northern Serbia, Vucic said, adding that he had swiftly informed Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban of the development.
