“…The Serbian national company responsible for oil and gas extraction, known as NIS ("Naftna Industrija Srbije" in Serbian), has been under the ownership of the Russian company Gazprom since 2009. This ownership extends to Serbia's refineries as well (Radukic ́et al, 2023). Initially, Gazprom acquired a 51% stake in NIS for 400 million euros without a tender, with the Republic of Serbia holding the remaining 49%.…”

Serbia's energy sector is heavily reliant on Russian influence. On the other hand, Serbia's status as a candidate country for joining the European Union (EU) membership requires active working toward diversifying energy sources of supply. In the past decade, Serbia has secured a reduced price for natural gas through a bilateral agreement with Russia, addressing the shortfall in its domestic production. The former agreement priced Russian gas at US$270 per thousand cubic meters and expired in 2021. The new deal links gas prices to crude oil and ranges between US$310 and US$408, maintaining its competitive position as one of Europe's lowest import prices. Furthermore, alongside the new gas pipeline for Russian gas exports, the EU is funding the construction of a new interconnector, both with entry points from Bulgaria. Serbia also faces significant dependence on crude oil, and this reliance is compounded by the inability to import it from Russia any longer. Opposite, Serbia is usually self-sufficient in electricity production which still remains under state ownership. The domestic exploration and processing of oil and gas, as well as the sole underground gas storage facility in Serbia, have partial ownership by Russian Gazprom while the transportation of gas is under the full control of the Serbian government. This Communication about the energy situation in the Republic of Serbia put particular emphasis on the evolving political dynamics in the global energy market with a specific focus on the Russia–Ukraine war. The topic is also linked to the contentious status of the southern Serbian autonomous province, recognized as an independent state by the majority of Western nations but not by Serbia. It is feared that Serbia's energy dependence on Russia could have significant ramifications for its EU candidacy.

This article should examine ideas of how a chatbot can support decision making processes by col-lecting general opinion about the certain topics. The ChatGPT is tested in this article in respect of natural gas security of supply of the Republic of Serbia in the context of the current political situation in the world. The author first describes its own stance on the topic and then the ChatGPT is asked for its opinion (which most probably collects and compiles phrases from English speaking sources to build a text in a smart way). The topic is ort only about security of gas supply of Serbia but also political and highly sensitive, so it is examined if the ChatGPT can be useful tool to reach a balance between less on more favorable options in the process of policy making.

Gas refineries are an important part of the energy supply in the world but they may produce byproducts like emissions too. Thus, both technical performance and environmental execution are important and need to be analyzed. Iran is the third-highest producer of natural gas in the world. It produces 6.5% of the natural gas in the world. This paper rummages the environmental and technical performance of Iranian gas refineries through data envelopment analysis (DEA), which is a strong frontier analysis approach is used in this study. Although the primary result shows a rather good performance of Iranian gas refineries overall, more potentials are found for improvement. We find 6% technical potential and 8% environmental potential for improvement which is still a considerable amount. Thus, national and international policymakers should consider this potential for better production and supply of natural gas. We also provided an empirical robustness check to enrich our findings.
