The filling station is located in Vestern, near Sibiu (central Romania), and bears the Gazprom logo.
Gazprom owns the Serbian oil group NIS, which bought three gas stations from private entrepreneurs in Romania this year. According to the official statements, the company should have reached 40 gas stations in 2012 and grow to 120 in 2014.
The Russian giant, which covers around a third of Romania’s gas needs, will use for the local market, for the first gas station at least, the Gazprom brand, instead of NIS. Prices are comparable to those operated by the other filling station chains.
