Czech pipelines, excluded from the veto on oil transported from Russia | Video

Nelahozeves/ Haje U Pribrami (Czech Republic), Aug 15 (EFE), (Camera: Martin Divisek) Mero CR, which owns and operates the Czech part of the Druzhba pipeline and the IKL pipeline, is the only transporter of crude oil to the Czech Republic and also provides storage for the country's emergency strategic oil reserves.

Both pipelines feed crude oil into the Central Oil Tank Park, located near Nelahozeves, where the company has built a total of 17 oil tanks with a total storage capacity of 1,675,000 m3.

In June 2022, the European Union approved a sixth sanctions package for the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which includes a ban on most Russian oil imports from the end of the year.

The transportation of oil through the Druzhba pipeline that supplies the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary will be temporarily excluded from the embargo.
