BUCHAREST, Nov 16 (Hina) - During a two-day trip to Moscow which ended on Thursday, Croatian Economy Minister Goranko Fizulic agreed conditions for the transport of Russian oil to the Mediterranean, which will pass through the
Adriatic oil pipeline Janaf. "We agreed on the transport price of $0.64 for 100 tonnes per kilometre. The Ukraine has yet to agree to this price, which will happen in the next two to three weeks," Fizulic told reporters in Zagreb on Friday. The transport could begin in December 2002, with five million tonnes in the first phase and 25 million in the third. This venture will pave the way for a $20 million investment in Janaf, said Fizulic. The rules of the transport will be defined in the next few months through an agreement among Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Slovakia, Hungary, and Croatia. The Russians wish to bring 55 million tonnes of oil to the Medite
