BELGRADE, Serbia – The United States has introduced sanctions against Serbia’s main oil supplier, which is controlled by Russia, the company said on Thursday.
Serbia almost entirely depends on Russian gas and oil supplies, which it receives mainly through pipelines in Croatia and other neighboring states. The gas is then distributed by Petroleum Industry of Serbia (NIS), which is majority-owned by Russia’s state oil monopoly Gazprom Neft.
