According to findings by Forbes Serbia, the dispute between the two sides has also reached the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), with which Serbia already faces issues related to Russian ownership in NIS. The development follows suspicions raised by the American company Nitron Group regarding alleged illegal activities and potential corruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Forbes Serbia reported yesterday, due to a debt of 16.7 million dollars, Nitron Group registered a pledge over the entire stake owned by the Novi Sad-based company Promist in the Pan\u010devo Azotara plant. The company is also seeking an additional 6.8 million dollars, bringing the total claim to 23.5 million dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pledge was registered based on a decision by a public enforcement officer and a ruling of the Commercial Court in Novi Sad, but a sudden reversal followed just one day after the registration. Namely, following an appeal filed by Promist, the court amended its original decision and accepted the appeal, Forbes Serbia reports.<\/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=\"ldRokFV7yX\"><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/uhapsen-aco-djukanovic-brat-mila-djukanovica-i-jedan-od-najbogatijih-crnogoraca-lisen-slobode-nakon-pretresa-kuce\/\">UHAP\u0160EN ACO \u0110UKANOVI\u0106: Brat Mila \u0110ukanovi\u0107a i jedan od najbogatijih Crnogoraca li\u0161en slobode nakon pretresa ku\u0107e!<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#132;UHAP\u0160EN ACO \u0110UKANOVI\u0106: Brat Mila \u0110ukanovi\u0107a i jedan od najbogatijih Crnogoraca li\u0161en slobode nakon pretresa ku\u0107e!&#147; &#8212; Serbiantimes.info\" src=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/uhapsen-aco-djukanovic-brat-mila-djukanovica-i-jedan-od-najbogatijih-crnogoraca-lisen-slobode-nakon-pretresa-kuce\/embed\/#?secret=oLNw3pALCr#?secret=ldRokFV7yX\" data-secret=\"ldRokFV7yX\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Since an appeal does not postpone enforcement, the pledge has already been entered into the Pledge Registry. At the time of publication, it remains active in the registry. The new court decision ordering the deletion of the pledge has apparently not yet been formally implemented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Forbes Serbia also learned yesterday that Promist has not repaid its debt to Nitron, although it was logical to assume that debt repayment had been the reason behind lifting the pledge and unblocking the company\u2019s accounts. This was also confirmed by representatives of Nitron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Forbes Serbia investigated the grounds on which the Commercial Court in Novi Sad amended its decision on registering the pledge. It should be recalled that the registration of this right means that Promist \u2014 the sole owner of Azotara \u2014 cannot sell, transfer, mortgage, or otherwise dispose of Azotara until the debt owed to Nitron is fully settled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/interview-melissa-luburich-serbian-woman-from-chicago-three-times-congresswoman-how-i-fought-for-the-serbian-cause-in-washington-with-my-homemade-greens-pie-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">INTERVIEW, MELISSA LUBURICH, SERBIAN WOMAN FROM CHICAGO \u2013 THREE TIMES CONGRESSWOMAN: \u201eHow I fought for the Serbian cause in Washington with my homemade greens pie!\u201c (VIDEO)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/anger-grows-at-the-blockades-police-summoned-more-than-10-farmers-for-informative-talks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">ANGER GROWS AT THE BLOCKADES: Police summoned more than 10 farmers for informative talks!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/horror-in-north-macedonia-serial-killer-arrested-suspected-of-murdering-as-many-as-five-women\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">HORROR IN NORTH MACEDONIA: Serial killer arrested, suspected of murdering as many as five women!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/fantastic-news-for-serbia-european-commission-proposed-the-abolition-of-roaming-between-the-western-balkans-and-the-eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">FANTASTIC NEWS FOR SERBIA: European Commission proposed the abolition of roaming between the Western Balkans and the EU!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/he-is-my-brother-from-today-ivica-saw-an-overturned-car-and-immediately-rushed-to-help-saved-a-person-with-a-disability-from-certain-death-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">\u201eHE IS MY BROTHER FROM TODAY\u201c: Ivica saw an overturned car and immediately rushed to help, saved a person with a disability from certain death!
