The Washington administration has extended the operational license for Naftna Industrija Srbije (NIS) until January 23, according to a report by RTS (Radio Television of Serbia).<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After 84 days of American sanctions against NIS, OFAC<\/strong> (Office of Foreign Assets Control) has granted a license for the continuation of NIS operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As RTS previously learned, President Aleksandar Vu\u010di\u0107<\/strong> held important discussions today regarding the resolution of the NIS crisis with the Washington administration, OFAC, and the State Department, as well as with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orb\u00e1n<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President will provide more detailed information on what this means for Serbia and the resolution of the sanctions during a broadcast tomorrow on RTS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier today, Vu\u010di\u0107 congratulated citizens on the New Year and noted his belief that within the next 24 hours, the country would celebrate “phenomenal political news.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, on December 24, OFAC issued a new license to NIS allowing negotiations for the sale of the Russian stake<\/strong>, with an extended deadline until March 24. It has been confirmed that the Russians are negotiating the sale of their stake with the Hungarian company MOL<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the imposition of sanctions on NIS, there has been no import of crude oil via the Adriatic Pipeline (JANAF)<\/strong>. The Pan\u010devo refinery has been out of operation since December 2, leaving Serbia to rely on state reserves and the import of processed petroleum products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
