Kremlin says Russia has had contacts with Serbia over NIS oil firm MOSCOW, June 22 (Reuters) - Russia has had contacts with Serbia over the country's Russian-owned oil firm, NIS NIIS.BEL, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday, adding that the talks were not for public disclosure.
The United States imposed sanctions on NIS last year as it targeted the Russian energy sector over Moscow's war in Ukraine and demanded that Russia's Gazprom GAZP.MM and Gazprom Neft SIBN.MM divest their NIS shares.
