description The paper views Russia’s contemporary energy strategy with an emphasis on oil and gas energy, in the situation of geopolitical confrontation with the United States. It analyzes also the energy and economic position of Serbia in the absence of transit energy network in the Balkans. After the introduction, where the research scope and theoretical-epistemological approach are defined, the first part deals with the four sectors of Russia’s national energy policy. It specifically analyzes the question of the Energy Charter and the relations with the EU. The second part looks at the importance of building new Russian oil and gas pipelines and bilateral energy agreements. The third part provides an analytical clarification, from the view of geopolitics, of how the suspension of the “South Stream” gas pipeline construction and the so-called “Turkish Stream” affected Serbia. Also examined is the question of whether it is an interest of Serbia to relate its energy policy to the energy strategy of Russia. Russian strategy of resources is directed towards building new economic alliances with Eurasian countries and towards preventing the geopolitical containment of Russia by the United States. On the other hand, Serbia must very quickly set out to consider the economic and geopolitical importance of linking to the energy policy of Russia. This is the only strategy that can respond to the issue of further Serbian economic development.
