Hungary FM: Deal Near in Talks Between MOL and Serbia’s NIS 😊

MOL is close to acquiring a stake in Serbia's NIS, with support from Hungary's government, which would enhance Central Europe's energy security. Talks involve Gazprom Neft and Serbian officials, with a potential agreement expected soon. Szijjarto emphasized the strategic importance of the Pancevo refinery and dismissed claims of market manipulation as disinformation. The acquisition, alongside a new oil pipeline, is seen as a breakthrough for energy stability in the region, especially amid the ongoing energy crisis exacerbated by the war in Ukraine.
