MOL receives U.S. approval to continue talks about NIS acquisition until June 6

MOL has received OFAC approval to keep talks open until June 6 regarding the purchase of a majority stake in Serbia's Russian-owned oil firm NIS. The extension reduces immediate regulatory pressure but does not indicate a completed deal. The news is modestly relevant for sanctions-sensitive energy assets and cross-border M&A in the region.
