Serbia's US-sanctioned oil firm NIS gets three months to find buyer, energy minister says
Serbia secured a three-month licence from the US to try to find a buyer for its Russian-owned oil company, NIS, which is under sanctions that threaten fuel supplies ahead of winter, energy minister Dubravka Djedovic-Handanovic said on Saturday.
Serbia said this week that Russia’s Gazprom Neft SIBN.MM and Gazprom GAZP.MM — which together hold a controlling stake of 56% in the country’s only oil refiner NIIS.BEL — had sent a request to the US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), stating readiness to cede control of the company to a third party.
OFAC initially placed sanctions on Russia’s oil sector, including Gazprom GAZP.MM, in January, but for NIS they were postponed several times and finally came into effect on October 8.
The US Treasury department has approved a three-month licence for NIS to give the company’s owners time to look for a buyer, Djedovic-Handanovic said on live TV. The company and its oil refinery will not be allowed to operate in the meantime.

Vance trolls Biden over waiting ‘to croak’ (VIDEO)
Speaking with Fox News host Sean Hannity on Thursday, Vance was asked how he handles being first in line to assume presidential powers if Donald Trump were ever unable to serve.
Vance replied that Trump is in strong health and “casts a big shadow,” before adding: “But if I served under Joe Biden, I’d probably be worried every minute of every day that he was going to croak and that I’d have to become president.”
He joked that he would “never be able to sleep” in such a situation and would keep his phone volume at maximum in case the emergency call came.
The decline in Biden’s physical and cognitive condition – long denied as an issue by his administration – became a central political topic after his disastrous performance in an election debate with Trump last year, which prompted Democratic Party leaders to pressure the then-81-year-old to step down as their presidential candidate in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris.
- Critics of the current president, who is 79, say he frequently exhibits “elderly moments” of his own during public events.
- Trump has also faced public scrutiny over visible bruising on his right hand and swelling around his ankles, concerns the White House has attributed to preventative aspirin use and a mild age-related vascular condition.
