Balkan Stream is a pipeline which transports Russian natural gas from Turkey to Bulgaria, Serbia[1] and Hungary.[2][3] It is an extension of Turk Stream.[4][5] Annual capacity is almost 16 bcm from Turkey[6] and 1.8 bcm onwards to Serbia.[7]

The project is headed and financed by Srbijagas (or "South Stream Serbia AG"), the state-owned natural gas provider of Serbia.[8]
