"Based on an agreement between the Russian Federation and Belarus, oil supplies will be restored in the Druzhba pipeline today at 3:30 p.m. (1430 GMT)," Transpetrol said in a statement.
"The first supplies in the pipeline on Slovak territory should appear around 6:00 p.m. (1700 GMT)."
Belarus said earlier on Wednesday it had reached agreement with Russia to settle a dispute which has halted oil supplies through the pipeline to Europe, though Moscow did not immediately confirm a deal.
The Druzhba pipeline forks on Belarussian territory, and countries served by its southern spur include Hungary, the Czech Repulic and Slovakia.
