Serbia has ample crude oil and fuel in storage to meet short-term demand, but U.S. sanctions effective October 1 threaten energy security. NIS, owned by Russia’s Gazprom Neft, holds stocks but faces uncertainty. Serbia’s only refinery supplies most of the country’s fuel, relying on the JANAF pipeline, which will cease supplies post-sanctions.

NIS, Serbia’s only oil refinery, faces uncertainty with U.S. sanctions on Russia’s oil sector.

The impact of the sanctions on NIS could have broader implications for Serbia’s energy sector.
