Slovakia plans to hold talks with the European Union about extending its exemption to sanctions on Russian oil, according to Foreign Minister Juraj Blanar, Paralel.Az reports citing Bloomberg.

Slovnaft AS, the Slovak refiner owned by Hungary’s Mol Nyrt., has been processing Russian crude into fuels for shipment to the Czech Republic, and wants to continue doing so after its exemption expires Dec. 5. Without an extension, its use of Russian oil will be limited to supplying the Slovak market.
