OIL DELIVERIES TO BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA SUSPENDED BY COURT ORDER

( Editorial: --> 5100 ) PLOCE, Feb 27 (Hina) - All deliveries of oil derivatives to Bosnia- Herzegovina from the Ploce port were discontinued on Thursday after the Split Commercial Court ordered the seizure of the fuel which the Sarajevo-based Energopetrol company kept in storage at the port. The order was issued after the Croatian oil company INA sued its Bosnian customer for failure to pay for purchased goods. The order was executed by the staff of the Customs Department, who cordoned off and sealed Energopetrol's storage facilities on Thursday. The daily delivery of 600 to 700 tonnes of gasoline and diesel fuel to Bosnia-Herzegovina has been discontinued pending further developments. (hina) mm as/mrb 272002 MET feb 98
