Serbia has intensified efforts to strengthen its emergency fuel reserves in the coming weeks. As part of the plan, the state is arranging deliveries of 38,000 tons of petrol, approximately 66,000 tons of diesel, and an additional 86,000 tons of crude oil to reinforce national stockpiles. Energy Minister Dubravka Đedović announced the measures during consultations with Prime Minister Đuro Macut, where the two reviewed the current energy situation and the Government’s response to the impact of U.S. sanctions on oil company NIS.
Officials concluded that energy supplies to the domestic market remain uninterrupted. They stressed that all relevant institutions are assessing necessary measures on a daily basis to ensure that the flow of crude oil, petrol and diesel continues without disturbance despite external pressures.
Prime Minister Macut emphasized that close coordination among state institutions and rapid, synchronized action are essential to minimizing market volatility. Maintaining this level of cooperation, he said, is key to preventing significant disruptions.
Authorities are also monitoring negotiations between NIS’s Russian shareholders and potential new partners. The objective is to create the conditions needed to extend the operating license of NIS and the Pančevo refinery — a process that will require approval from the U.S. administration.
