Serbia is currently engaged in negotiations with various companies regarding the sale of a segment of its national oil holdings. According to information released by Gazeta Express on March 21st, 2026, at 14:21, Minister of Mines and Energy Dubravka Gjedoviq Handanoviq announced that her nation is exploring the most suitable approach and pricing strategies for offering 40,000 tons of oil sourced from the state’s reserves. This particular volume constitutes roughly 15 percent of Serbia’s total state oil inventory.
The government intends to release this quantity into the market, driven by the prevailing global energy circumstances. Minister Handanoviq explained that this action allows for a dual strategy. “Essentially, businesses can maintain their existing imports at elevated costs, while simultaneously accessing oil from our mandated reserves at reduced rates.
Combining these two approaches ensures a consistent supply to the market, effectively preventing any potential shortages,” she stated. The initiative reflects Serbia’s response to the current international oil market dynamics.
