Therefore, we are not without an exit strategy; we keep the situation under control. This is a very stable situation, and no one should worry about the future of energy in Serbia at this time,\u201d the Prime Minister emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Macut stressed that supply levels are currently maintained and that no shortages are expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He highlighted that there are specific timelines and plans concerning the transformation of ownership and the future of NIS and the entire energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not just about the refinery in Pan\u010devo; it\u2019s also about distribution centers and the distribution of energy resources. The system is very complex, somewhat slow-moving, but it must be reliable and secure. Therefore, supply is currently fully maintained, and we have continuity that is expected to remain strong through the end of January. During this period, we anticipate resolutions to the situation,\u201d Macut explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-serbiantimes-info wp-block-embed-serbiantimes-info\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"gM87dTyIQO\"><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/svi-gube-nadu-u-ukrajinu-poznati-americki-vojni-analiticar-priznao-da-se-ukrajinska-odbrana-raspala-i-da-rusi-brzo-napreduju\/\">SVI GUBE NADU U UKRAJINU: Poznati ameri\u010dki vojni analiti\u010dar priznao da se ukrajinska odbrana raspala i da Rusi brzo napreduju!<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#132;SVI GUBE NADU U UKRAJINU: Poznati ameri\u010dki vojni analiti\u010dar priznao da se ukrajinska odbrana raspala i da Rusi brzo napreduju!&#147; &#8212; Serbiantimes.info\" src=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/svi-gube-nadu-u-ukrajinu-poznati-americki-vojni-analiticar-priznao-da-se-ukrajinska-odbrana-raspala-i-da-rusi-brzo-napreduju\/embed\/#?secret=pNuQjVK5ss#?secret=gM87dTyIQO\" data-secret=\"gM87dTyIQO\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/n1info.rs\/biznis\/vrzino-kolo-oko-nis-a-dok-je-predsednik-spreman-da-rafinerija-ne-radi-rusija-govori-o-prijateljstvu-a-gradjani-trpe-posledice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tangled situation around NIS:<\/strong> While the President is \u201cready for the refinery to stop,\u201d Russia talks about friendship, and citizens face consequences<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Macut added that Serbia is also awaiting a license from OFAC, expressing hope for a resolution to the current situation with NIS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI expect a favorable outcome, as well as the continuation of our safe policy and strategy toward a final solution,\u201d Prime Minister Macut said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to U.S. sanctions on NIS, the Pan\u010devo refinery has halted operations, including the production of petroleum derivatives.
