BELGRADE — Naftna Industrija Srbije, the Serbian oil and gas company controlled by Gazprom Neft, will invest 500 million euros ($630 million) annually over the next three years, chief executive Kirill Kravchenko said Tuesday.
Upgrading the retail network of some 250 gas stations in Serbia and expanding to neighboring Bulgaria, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Romania will take 40 percent of the planned investment, while the rest will be split evenly between exploration, production and refining.
"We will soon complete reconstruction of our main refinery in Pancevo, and we want to make sure that our retail supports placement of products from the refinery," which will make less-polluting Euro-5-quality fuel, Kravchenko said.

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.
