"Investment in energy infrastructure" is important, Vucic said adding that "we could have larger volumes stored than 750 million cubic meters." "We have reached an agreement with Russians that we will have much more than 750 million cubic meters. We are aiming at 1.5 and 2 billion cubic meters, liked in Hungary which has 7 billion, so that we never have to worry again when and if gas supply is disrupted," Vucic noted.
