U.S. sanctions on Serbia’s state-linked energy firm Naftna Industrija Srbije (NIS) came into effect on Thursday. The enforcement — repeatedly postponed over the past year — came despite expectations of another short delay. NIS said it had taken “all necessary measures to maintain stable operations and fuel supply.” Local outlet Nova Ekonomija hadthat the sanctions might be delayed for another week, but NIS did not confirm this.
