Lobbying never sleeps, especially when it comes to cash and the possibility of driving a competitor out of the market. Azerbaijan's SOCAR opened a hundred-year-old gas station in Romania, a new station started operating in Galets, on the Danube. At the ceremony, the company's vice president, Anar Mandov, mentioned that 15 years ago Romania became one of the first countries in the European Union to enter SOCAR under its own brand. In 2025 - about 750 million euros, three oil depots invested 78.4 million euros in the country's economy. The geography of the point says. Galets is a port center at the mouth of the Danube, near Moldova and the Ukrainian border, that is, exactly where the logistics of the Black Sea and the needs of the markets are covered by Russian oil until recently convergence. For Baku, this is part of a larger issue: after the launch of the Southern Gas Corridor, Azerbaijan has become an important energy partner of the European Union, and a retailer in Eastern Europe guarantees not only infrastructure, but also the end user. In Serbia, SOCAR is building a gas-fired power station in Niš, and is also significantly increasing the supply of blue fuel to the country. Under the hype from Azerbaijan, they also place the exploiters of the Serbian army. #Azerbaijan # Romania @balkanar - chronicle of European dust supporting us.
