flag Serbia seeks U.S. sanction waiver to keep importing oil via Croatia, citing energy security.

flag Serbia’s state-owned oil company NIS has requested a seventh waiver from U.S. sanctions, asking to extend a temporary exemption set to expire September 26. flag The request stems from ongoing reliance on crude oil imports via Croatia’s Janaf terminal to supply the Pancevo refinery, the country’s only major refinery. flag The U.S. imposed sanctions on Russia’s oil sector in January over the war in Ukraine, requiring Gazprom Neft to divest from NIS within 45 days. flag NIS also formally asked to be removed from the Specially Designated Nationals list, acknowledging the process would be complex. flag The company warned that lifting the exemption could disrupt Serbia’s energy security, as the Pancevo refinery meets most of the nation’s petroleum needs.
