Dubravka Đedović Handanović, the Minister of Mining and Energy, announced that the first crude oil will arrive for NIS via JANAF after nearly 100 days, with the refinery expected to restart operations around January 16. Following the initial 85,000 tons, an additional 35-45,000 tons is anticipated next week, allowing for continuous operation beyond January 23.

The goal is to extend the operational license, pending requirements from the US OFAC. Teljes cikk (Világgazdaság)
