Presents the text of an interview conducted by Ambassador Extraordinary Boris Piadyshev with Dr. Srecko Djukic, Serbia's ambassador to the Republic of Belarus & a former member of Serbia's Moscow embassy staff. Attention is given to Djukic's latest book, Energy Time: More Than Diplomacy, which explores the importance of the energy crisis & new global energy security problem. Much of the focus is on Russia's global energy policy & the political agenda behind the raising of "Russian oil & gas as a threat issue." The availability of oil is discussed in relation to sudden price changes. The book addresses alternative energy sources to suggest that diversification is the key to today's energy diplomacy. Djukic emphasizes the need for participants in the "big energy game" to consider each other's interests & maintains that Russia has the greatest energy potential of any country. Other issues discussed include the importance of natural gas; the relationship between producers & consumers of energy resources; the European oil/gas pipeline system; & Serbia's place in the European energy network.
