This means that the Pan\u010devo Oil Refinery will continue processing crude oil, which is especially important amid the global energy crisis,&#8221; Minister of Mining and Energy Dubravka \u0110edovi\u0107 Handanovi\u0107 wrote on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To recall, on June 26, NIS submitted a new request to the U.S. Department of the Treasury seeking an extension of its operating license.
