I had the misfortune of having to listen to the whole stuff, and the paracetamol show on to of that too (school stuff).
In the UN speech, there was like 3-4 minutes worth of sensible content, not presidential, but at least something. But the rest... fried my brain.

Croatia just operates an oil terminal to receive seagoing tanker ships (this is the historical root cause of the pipeline dependency of Hungary and Slovakia, they are landlocked). So any tanker capable of reaching the terminal could carry any oil bought by the end users.

It can be from any source the refineries can handle (different sources give oil with different chemical composition). MOL (oil company operating the Bratislava refinery in Slovakia and the Szazhalombatta refinery in Hungary) worked on making the 2 refineries multi-source.

Hungary put a "refusal of entry alert" into the Schengen Information System about Brovdi, which means when Brovdi tries to enter the Schengen Area, an alert directs the border guards to refuse and turn him away.

And Loeb says they don't know how much fuel Juno has. On the one hand, as you wrote, it's irrelevant, since it sure doesn't have enough. On the other hand, JPL published how much fuel Juno had after Jupiter orbit insertion, it's like the 2nd google search result.
