Gazprom wants to temporarily close the refineries in Pancevo and Novi Sad for modernization, while Russia wants a monopoly on gas derivate export, writes Danas. Immediately after the signing of the contract for the purchase of the Serbian Oil Industry (NIS), Gazprom intends to temporarily close the two refineries until they are able to produce fuel of European quality, the daily understands from circles close to the government. "Gazprom plans temporary refinery closure" The source, who wished to remain anonymous, claims that during the modernization period, the Russians would import fuel from abroad and that they would, in all probability, have a monopoly on the import of oil derivates until 2014. It is feared that owing to the modernization, workers at these refineries could be left without their jobs. The daily’s source says that these two demands are unacceptable to Serbian negotiators, who insist that NIS's buyers continue production of crude oil during the modernization process. Moreover, the Serbian side dismissed any chance of an extension until 2014 to the monopoly on the processing and import of oil, as it would completely shut the domestic market and runs counter to EU demands. The stumbling block in the talks is linked to the sale of NIS and Russia’s supposed refusal to meet ecological standards prescribed by Serbian legislation. The Serbian negotiating team wanted the sale of NIS to depend on the Russian side giving guarantees for the construction of South Stream, something that the Russians refused.
