The United States has introduced sanctions against Serbia's main oil supplier, which is controlled by Russia, the company said on Thursday. Serbia almost entirely depends on Russian gas and oil supplies, which it receives mainly through pipelines in Croatia and other neighbouring states.

It added that it has stored enough supplies to keep the operation moving for customers for a longer while. It also said problems could occur at NIS gasoline stations with payment made by foreign bank credit cards but added that that cash ...
