Texaco Inc. will halt shipments of gasoline to Yugoslavia after saying that it made such a shipment on April 10, nearly three weeks after NATO’s air war against the Balkan state began. A company spokesman said Texaco had received assurances that the gasoline, refined in Britain, would be used only within the Belgrade-controlled Republic of Montenegro, which has said it is neutral in the current conflict. However, the Texaco spokesman said the company will not be making any further shipments there under an existing contract.
