MOL Calls On JANAF to Allow Russian Oil Transit to Hungary

Croatian pipeline operator JANAF must allow transit of Russian seaborne oil to Hungary and Slovakia, refiner MOL Group said in an emailed statement on Thursday, adding that such imports were not under EU sanctions.

"MOL Group calls on JANAF to immediately guarantee that it would let through maritime Russian crude shipments not under sanctions," MOL said, adding that it expected a reply from JANAF by February 27 and if rejected, MOL could turn to the European Commission and seek damages.
