Construction of the DCC is an investment whose value exceeds €300mn, making it currently the largest Gazprom Neft investment project in Serbia, the Russian company said. It added that the project is a key part of the second phase of a major programme which it has been executing since 2009 to modernise the refining capacity at NIS.
