In the framework of zeta-regularization approach we calculate a zero point energy of scalar field. We found that depending on values of coupling $ξ$, a mass of field $m$, and/or the throat's radius $a$ the Casimir force may be both attractive and repulsive, and even equals to zero.2 figures, 10 pages, added 2 referencesHigh Energy Physics - TheoryGeneral Relativity and Quantum Cosmologytext
