Serbia is seeking an extension of its gas deal with Russia, as the current arrangement is set to expire on September 30. The country also imports gas from Azerbaijan and is negotiating the sale of a 56-percent Russian stake in NIS to MOL. The US sanctions waiver related to the sale is also set to expire on September 30.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Serbia remains heavily dependent on Russian gas, making the extension of the supply deal critical for its energy security. The potential sale of the Russian stake in NIS is tied to lifting US sanctions, which affects the Serbian petroleum company’s operations. MOL's acquisition of the stake would expand its core regional energy assets.
