Now it is the most profitable company in Serbia. The Russian owners of NIS are using part of their profits to finance the brutal aggression against Ukraine and undermine stability in the Balkans and across Europe, rather than investing in Serbia&#8217;s future,&#8221; the US embassy stated in its response to Euronews Serbia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They emphasize that a change of ownership in NIS would certainly bring more peace and prosperity, both here and in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They remain, they say, committed to partnering with Serbia to diversify its energy sources and establish energy independence in a way that benefits Serbia, not an aggressive and destabilizing external force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the information that the US will impose sanctions on the Serbian Petroleum Industry from January 1, this company announced that it is monitoring the current situation and analyzing all possible scenarios. NIS emphasizes that the supply of gas stations is currently regular and that the Pancevo Refinery is operating in normal mode. Serbian President Aleksandar Vu\u010di\u0107 said a few days ago that he must wait for an official document, and then he will try to talk to the US administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">READ MORE: <\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/kurti-dobija-ultimatum-savet-eu-zabrinut-zbog-situacije-na-severu-kosmeta-trazi-hitno-formiranje-zso\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">KURTI DOBIJA ULTIMATUM: Savet EU zabrinut zbog situacije na severu Kosmeta, tra\u017ei hitno formiranje ZSO!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/potpisan-strateski-sporazum-srbija-od-sad-kupila-znacajnu-kolicinu-gasa-amerikanci-pomazu-u-tranziciji-na-cistije-izvore-energije-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">POTPISAN STRATE\u0160KI SPORAZUM: Srbija od SAD kupila zna\u010dajnu koli\u010dinu gasa, Amerikanci poma\u017eu u tranziciji na \u010distije izvore energije<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/ruski-mediji-o-sporazumu-u-vasingtonu-srbija-nam-okrece-ledja-i-prelazi-sa-ruskog-gasa-na-americku-energiju\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RUSKI MEDIJI O SPORAZUMU U VA\u0160INGTONU: Srbija nam okre\u0107e le\u0111a i prelazi sa ruskog gasa na ameri\u010dku energiju!<\/a><\/strong><br><br>I<strong>zvor: <\/strong>Nova,<strong> Foto<\/strong>: Vesna Lali\u0107\/Nova.rs<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Regarding the announcement that the United States might impose sanctions on the Serbian Petroleum Industry (NIS), the US embassy in Serbia could not comment on the news, but emphasized that the risks of cooperating with Russian companies, especially in the energy sector, have been known for a long time.
