The Hungarian MOL can continue negotiations on the purchase of a controlling stake in shekels from the Russian owners, and the company itself can import oil, work at the Pančevo plant and make payments. Let's recall the structure: 56.2% of the shekel is controlled by Gazprom structures (44.9% by Gazprom Neft and 11.3% by Modi'in), the state of Serbia controls 29.9%. The company is under US sanctions, but since the beginning of the year, Washington has repeatedly granted delays while negotiations are underway on the sale of the Russian shares to the Hungarians. There is a strange intrigue surrounding the negotiations themselves: according to industry publications, they almost fell through a few days ago - and the looming truce looked looming for the country's only Panchav refinery. An extension until December 11 removes the pressing question, but does not answer the main one: will the parties agree on the price. The situation is complicated by politics. The winning "student list" has already announced delegations to Washington and Moscow to discuss sanctions against the shekel and the extension of the gas contract with Russia. That is, the fate of the company will no longer be decided by Vucic's team, but by the new government - and he will have to bargain with the Americans and Gazprom from scratch. - Chronicle of the powder keg of Europe Support us.
