Minister of Finance: I Expect Hungary’s MOL to Officially Take Over NIS by Mid-March

“What is important is that on Monday we reached an agreement with the Hungarian side and the Arab partners regarding our rights and obligations at the moment they assume management of the company. The Hungarians said that the agreement would be signed by the deadline set by OFAC, that is, by March 24. I expect this to happen a bit earlier, around or by mid-March,” Mali said.

The minister assessed that the majority of the work regarding the solution for NIS has already been completed.

“In my opinion, majority of the work has already been done, given the ‘term sheet’ that was submitted and signed between the Hungarians and the Russians, containing the basic provisions of the agreement. This is good news, as it reduces uncertainty regarding fuel supply,” Mali said.

According to him, Serbia is entering a more stable and calmer period.
