Rosneft goes to the Mediterranean market through Croatia

46
The details of the visit of the Croatian President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic to Moscow are becoming known. As it turns out, Croatia is ready to offer Russia joint projects - oil cooperation projects. In particular, Rosneft can create a Croatian oil hub that will serve the countries of the Mediterranean basin without intermediaries.

The head of Rosneft, Igor Sechin, gave an interview to a Croatian newspaper Jutarnji listIn which he reported on some details of the Russian-Croatian consultations.



We are talking about the so-called strategic location of the assets of the Croatian company INA. Igor Sechin noted that an oil-loading terminal may appear in Croatia, through which, without intermediaries, the company will be able to sell oil on the Central European and Mediterranean markets.

From the statement of Igor Sechin:
We are interested in effective investments in this region and are considering the possibility of our participation in the capital of the largest Croatian oil company.


It is noted that earlier INA, which owns oil refineries in the cities of Rijeka and Sisak, declared the need to close one of the plants due to its unprofitability. More precisely, it was not the Croats themselves who were going to close the plant, but the Hungarian Mol, which is the largest shareholder of INA. Rosneft, through its own projects, offers Croats to keep the plant, jobs.

Sechin:
Highly qualified specialists work at this refinery (in Sisak), and they should not be allowed on the street. If Rosneft enters the capital of the Croatian INA, the plants will be modernized and will be able to produce products that meet European standards.




Rosneft, as Igor Sechin notes, is interested in entering a large Mediterranean market, and intends to build a strategic partnership line with the largest Croatian oil company.

        Hello Alexander.
        Important? Yes, it’s important, but there will be a lot of obstacles, and mainly from the USA. These will be shit, persuading, threatening wherever possible in order to prevent Russia from entering the European market. Now they are “concerned” with the Ukrainian gas transportation system, they are buying this worn-out system in the bud, for what? Surely they want to intercept this gas traffic by concluding an agreement with Gazprom, they will arrange a trick, accuse Gazprom of insolvency, slip their SG as an alternative to Russian natural gas. The fact that the Ukrainian system after that will be completely incapacitated, "exceptional" deep purple, the strongest and most cunning survive. And the same situations will be built on all of our traffic from the tacit coexistence of the “Europe”.

        Sooner you rejoice, it is easier for Americans to push the world towards a global war than to abandon leadership in the world, and so far there are no prerequisites for weakening the role of the United States. All internal disagreements are rather a minor misunderstanding that did not lead to a weakening of the role of Americans, nor in tactics in politics.

So they will throw us there, they will deceive us, as always, the Croats need a freebie, but when we go there we didn’t read the risks, we will work there at a loss!

      It does not interfere. What kind of "oil manipulation" are we talking about? Read the article carefully. The purchase of INA is a ready-made infrastructure for processing, transporting and selling oil and oil products to Europe. No need to build anything, just some modernization and use)). And this, of course, is more profitable for us than "supporting Croatian tourism."

    What are you happy about? Well, it’s clear that the oligarch Sechin needs a denyuzhka. Or, as Sechin said yesterday, there’s no money even for an SMS for sick children. And what good is Russia? Have you forgotten about import substitution? Is it good for Sechin and the people on the same plane? We live in parallel worlds. That Sechin will allocate part of his money for the construction of a school, a hospital. Build a house for veterans?

      Just about Rosneft, the news came out, it turns out to be a complete failure with import substitution, we even have nothing to drill in the comfortable conditions of the Black Sea .... but of course we need to help the Croats wassat
      For the first time, Rosneft will suspend exploration and drilling in the South Black Sea area for five years due to Western sanctions. There are no drilling vessels and equipment for work in this section on the market, the company admitted.

    Yes, to consolidate ... to start the position it would be nice to build, because the Balkans are the strategic point (height) of Europe. The Balkans are lost; even friendly Serbia looks towards the EU, surrounded on all sides by NATO. Montenegro striped bought, the turn of Macedonia. Rosneft’s move is reasonable, the risks are small, the location of the hub is excellent - a deep sea port in Rijeka, near Austria and Italy (Trieste is an hour away).
