He also added that if a decision is made to stop this oil supply, it will probably be an absolute decision by Braslav. the relevant judicial authority. Slovenft's refinery is located in the capital of the republic, whose activity is directly dependent on the supply of raw materials from Russia. The purchase of the oil for the project is carried out by the Hungarian Oil and Gas Corporation MOL, which is the owner of this plant.
