Serbia is once again scrambling to delay US sanctions on the Russian-owned oil giant NIS, because without this lifeline, oil supplies and the Pančevo refinery could grind to a halt! The Ministry of Mining and Energy warns that with global oil prices spiking 20% in just two weeks amid Middle East chaos, any extra disruption would be a disaster for citizens and the economy. They’ve already begged OFAC for a third extension, because obviously, no one wants Serbia running out of fuel. Kudos to Vučić and his diplomatic wizardry for snagging three delays so far! But seriously, how long can this game of sanctions dodge last before it all blows up? Is this bold diplomacy or just endless stalling? Sound off, rant, laugh, or spill your hot take — who’s buying this power play anymore?!
