Aleksandar Vucic, the Serbian president, announced in a televised speech that the NIS refinery, crucial for Serbia's oil products, will struggle to operate after November 1 due to halted shipments. He mentioned that existing reserves might last until the end of the year, but the situation poses severe consequences for the country. The U.S. imposed sanctions on NIS, which is Serbia's largest oil importer and a key energy asset for Russia in Europe. The Croatian JANAF pipeline operator has ceased shipments to Serbia, potentially leading to significant financial losses for them. Teljes cikk (Portfolio.hu)
