MOSCOW (Reuters) -Russia is continuing to seek a solution with Serbia regarding the Serbia-based, Russia-owned oil company NIS after the U.S. imposed sanctions on it, the Russian foreign ministry said on Thursday.
Washington announced sanctions in January against NIS, Serbia’s biggest oil importer and one of Russia’s last remaining energy assets in Europe, over Moscow’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
A series of waivers, however, had delayed them until last week, when NIS said that no further postponement was forthcoming.
