Jan 10 (NT - DPA) - Slovakia received no oil for the 11th day in succession on Wednesday from its sole supplier, Russia, officials said. The holdup has been caused by a disagreement over transit fees between Russia and the Ukraine, through which the oil pipeline runs. Russia signed an agreement last week to supply Slovakia with 200,000 tons of crude in January. A total of 96,000 barrels a day were to have been pumped to Slovakia, 162,000 a day to the Czech Republic and 352,000 a day to Germany. dpa ur /AA1234/101134 Jan 96 nnnn
