MOL to keep Rijeka refinery in Croatia in operation after taking over Serbian NIS 

 Januari 27th. 2026

Pančevo is far from Zagreb, Rijeka

“The futures of Pančevo and Rijeka have nothing to do with each other. And it’s regardless of who owns the Pančevo refinery,” she stressed.

INA has invested EUR 700 million in the Rijeka refinery

The modernization of the Rijeka refinery is complete

Ortutay noted that in late December INA finished the construction of new facilities planned under the modernization.

The company has started the commissioning phase, and plans to roll out the first products by mid-year, she announced.

Of note, NIS requires a green light from the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the US Department of the Treasury to be able to operate regularly.

OFAC has issued a sanctions waiver valid through February 20. Separately, it has allowed NIS to find a buyer by March 24 at the latest.
