Let’s do the math. Százhalombatta (HU) can process at most 8 million tonnes per year, and the Bratislava refinery (SVK) 6 million. Domestic production in Hungary is around one million. Let’s talk capacity. The Adriatic pipeline can transport 15 million tonnes of crude per year from Omišalj to Hungary and Slovakia (you did the math, didn’t you?). LINGUISTIC NOTE: in some European languages, “supplementary pipeline” apparently means “a pipeline able to cover basically everything.” Now, let’s talk money. Transport tariffs, whatever today’s number is, are a rounding error in the total cost (about 1 %), while Russian crude is ~30% cheaper than the alternatives. P.S. All this noise is about money. Our pipes speak the truth - so should you.

A Direct Hit! The impressive #solarstorm launched in the Earth-strike zone has been modeled by NASA. The storm is predicted to hit Earth by midday December 1. Along with two earlier storms already en route means we have a 1,2,3-punch. If the magnetic field is oriented correctly, expect #aurora to reach deep into mid-latitudes. Amateur #radio & #GPS reception issues are likely, especially on Earth's nightside. G3+ conditions are possible with this storm series.

Vlada je pokrenula proceduru za smjenu ravnatelja Statističkog ureda Republike Slovenije Tomaža Smrekara, nakon što je Statistički ured smanjio prošlogodišnji rast BDP-a s 5,4% na 2,5%, nakon čega je on podnio ostavku.

Never have I ever witnessed such a storm in Zagreb. It caused absolute chaos.. Some of the footage from it, it was insane.
