Naftna Industrija Srbije, controlled by Gazprom Neft, plans to explore four oil and gas blocks in Romania with Canada's East West Petroleum as it seeks to expand in the Balkans.
NIS, as the Serbian refiner is known, and East West are close to a cooperation agreement and plan to drill at least 12 wells at the blocks, which may contain shale gas as well as conventional oil and gas reserves, East West Petroleum said Wednesday in a statement.

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.
