He announced this during his speech at the Leaders' Summit

“We look forward to working with our friends from Azerbaijan on
constructing a gas-powered electricity plant near the city of Niš,”

The Serbian President also highlighted the importance of
technology and artificial intelligence in developing “smart cities”
and addressing urban challenges such as overcrowding, traffic
congestion, and waste management.
“Technology, digitization, and AI can be key in the future
development of cities. ‘Smart cities’ are the future,” he
emphasized.
Vučić pointed to Belgrade’s experience, where free public
transport has already been introduced and the fleet of electric
buses is planned to expand to reduce air pollution.
“We are actively developing new approaches to urban mobility and
want to draw on Azerbaijan’s experience to implement joint
projects,” he added.
The Serbian President also stressed that cooperation with
Azerbaijan will cover digital technologies and supercomputers,
which will help Serbia improve energy management and urban
infrastructure.
“We currently have two state-of-the-art supercomputers in
Kragujevac, and a third will soon be operational. This will enhance
digital city management and accelerate the transition to
sustainable energy sources,” Vučić explained.
