After the morning NIS extension, two practical follow-ups appeared: JANAF received an OFAC license to fulfill contractual obligations and deliver oil to NIS until July 31, and MOL received a license to continue talks with Gazprom/Gazprom Neft on buying the majority Russian stake. This preserves the Pancevo refinery's operation and fuel supply, but the ownership deal still has no public outcome.
Srbija centar leader Zdravko Ponos completed an informational interview at the Criminal Police Directorate on July 1 over his posts about the alleged use of a sound cannon at the March 15, 2025 protest. Afterward he told N1 he was asked about his motives for posting, the basis for his conclusion, and communication with Aleksandar Radic; N1 also carried the Vojvodina Regional Medical Chamber's statement offering legal and institutional support to doctors if prosecutors pursue medical staff who helped citizens after March 15.
N1 and Novosti report on July 1 that the Basic Court in Pristina found 36 people detained on June 28 at Gazimestan after Vidovdan guilty and fined each 700 euros. For people without Kosovo citizenship or documents, the reports also cite deportation and a three-year ban on entering Kosovo; according to N1, documents will be returned after the fine is paid.
N1 reports that lawyer Ivan Ninic said on July 1 that he filed two criminal complaints after KRIK's publication about Slavisa Kokeza's Sky messages and alleged threats against Nemanja Vidic. According to Ninic, one complaint was filed with the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade against Kokeza, and the other against unidentified members of the Interior Ministry's organized-crime service on suspicion of abuse of office and assistance after a criminal act.
N1 wrote on July 1, citing the UB Rectorate, that after entrance exams ended University of Belgrade faculties still did not have the government's decision on how many students may study on the state budget. Faculties mostly relied on last year's quotas in their admissions calls because the decision was supposed to be made before the calls were published but was delayed; on July 2, N1 separately reported that the UB Senate adopted amendments to decisions and a supplement to its opinion on the number of state-funded students, but that article does not confirm publication of the government decision.
Danas writes that both key OFAC licenses for NIS expire on July 1: the operating license for crude imports via JANAF and the license for Gazprom Neft-MOL talks on the Russian stake. N1 later added Hungarian context: HVG notes that the European arrest warrant for MOL chief Zsolt Hernadi remains valid, although a Budapest court refused in March to recognize the Croatian judgments; in parallel, Hungary is expanding its excess-profit tax on MOL.
