Fearing an energy crisis in Serbia, Vučić asks Trump to lift oil sanctions

Belgrade plans, with the support of Russia, to send a request to the United States next week to suspend sanctions against NIS (Serbian Oil Industry), President Aleksandar Vučić said.

"I expect that on Monday or Tuesday, together with the Russians and those the Russian side finds, we will send a letter to the American government and see if they will agree to exempt us from sanctions for one, two or three months, after we have started the process of changing the management ," Vučić said on the broadcast of Radio Television of Serbia.

In January, the US Treasury added Gazprom Neft, its CEO Alexander Dyukov and NIS to the sanctions list. After several delays, the restrictions came into effect on October 9. V

Učić said at the time that he did not hold Russia responsible and was relying on a joint solution to the issue. He later said that after the American measures, the NIS actually found itself under restrictions by the European Union.
