Szijjarto: MOL to increase deliveries to Serbia

The Hungarian oil company MOL will increase deliveries to Serbia after the entry into force of US sanctions on Naftna industrija Srbije, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said.

– Since MOL plays an important role in supplying Serbia with crude oil and fuel, our Serbian friends can rely on increased deliveries from MOL – Szijjarto said in a post on social networks, RTS reported.

According to him, this increase will not be able to fully replace the lack of deliveries from Croatia.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Thursday that it was a realistic assessment that the Pancevo refinery could operate without additional oil inflows until November 1, and added that when it came to fuel, there would be no problems until the New Year.

Addressing the citizens on the occasion of the introduction of US sanctions on NIS, Vucic said that that period could be longer by five or seven days, but that it would likely not be longer than that.
