Gazprom Neft and Slovenia's Petrol plan to meet in March and sign an agreement for the formation of a joint venture to sell petroleum products in Slovenia and other countries, said Communications and Press Minister Igor Shchyogolev, who is the Russian head of an intergovernmental commission between the two countries.
Documents on Russian-Slovenian cooperation in energy will be signed this March. Gazprom Neft hopes to enhance its position on the Serbian, Bulgarian and Romanian retail markets through its proposed venture with Petrol.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
