Hungary reacts: Peter Szijjarto announces that MOL is increasing oil deliveries to Serbia
The Hungarian oil company MOL will increase deliveries to Serbia after US sanctions against Petroleum Industry of Serbia (NIS) came into force, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said today.
"Since MOL plays an important role in supplying Serbia with crude oil and fuel, our Serbian friends can rely on increased deliveries from MOL," Szijjarto said in a Facebook post.
According to him, this increase will not be able to fully replace the lack of oil deliveries to Serbia via Croatia.
President Aleksandar Vucic said on Thursday that the realistic assessment is that the refinery (in Pancevo) can operate without an additional oil supply until November 1 and added that when it comes to fuel, there will be no problems until the New Year.
Reacting to the US sanctions against NIS, Vucic said that this period (until Nov. 1) could be longer by five or seven days, but hardly any longer than that.
