BELGRADE — Naftna Industrija Srbije, a Serbian oil company controlled by Gazprom Neft, expects to double foreign sales of jet fuel by 2020, following upgrades at its Pancevo refinery.
The exports are seen rising to more than 20,000 tons, mainly to neighboring Romania and Hungary, with the possible addition of Bulgaria as a new market, Aleksandar Medvedev, a NIS director of foreign sales, said Tuesday. NIS, the only refiner in Serbia, already covers more than 90 percent of the Serbian market of more than 70,000 tons of jet fuel a year, he said.
"We don't expect a strong growth of the Serbian market, but there will be solid demand in the region," said Milan Nikic, NIS' chief for jet fuel sales.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
