This enables the restart of the Pan\u010devo oil refinery, which had been idle for more than a month.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"563\" data-end=\"810\">OFAC imposed sanctions on NIS in October as part of broader measures targeting Russia\u2019s energy sector. As a result of the restrictions, crude oil supplies via the pipeline operated by Croatia\u2019s JANAF were halted, forcing the refinery to shut down.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"812\" data-end=\"978\">On Wednesday evening, JANAF also announced that it had received a license allowing it to carry out activities necessary for transporting oil for NIS until January 23.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"980\" data-end=\"1285\">Last week, OFAC granted NIS until March 24 to negotiate the sale of the Russian owners\u2019 stake. Gazprom holds 11.3% of the company, while another 44.9% is owned by its sanctioned subsidiary Gazprom Neft. The Serbian government owns 29.9%, with the remaining shares held by small shareholders and employees.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1287\" data-end=\"1437\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Serbian President Aleksandar Vu\u010di\u0107 has previously said that Gazprom is in talks with Hungary\u2019s MOL over a possible sale of a controlling stake in NIS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":150915,"menu_order":0,"template":"","newscat":[9],"newstag":[],"issues":[],"class_list":["post-150914","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","newscat-novosti"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/150914","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/150915"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=150914"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"newscat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newscat?post=150914"},{"taxonomy":"newstag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newstag?post=150914"},{"taxonomy":"issues","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issues?post=150914"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
