Aleksandar Vučić, the Serbian president, confirmed that Gazprom representatives are negotiating with Hungary's Mol regarding the sale of the Serbian oil company NIS. He stated that they have no objections to the deal as 'the Hungarians are our friends.' NIS, Serbia's largest oil company, is under US sanctions due to Russian majority ownership. The sanctions led to the shutdown of NIS's oil refinery in Pančevo. There are concerns about oil shortages in Serbia, prompting Mol to increase oil deliveries. Vučić emphasized the urgency of resolving the situation before January 15. Teljes cikk (Telex.hu)
