Саплитање МОЛ-а и „Гаспрома” у преговорима

Вест да мађарска нафтна компанија МОЛ протеклих дана обилази НИС, да разгледа рафинерију у Панчеву, бензинске пумпе, да се распитује око броја запослених, уобичајена је процедура у оваквим куповинама.

Саплитање МОЛ-а и „Гаспрома” у преговорима

TL;DR

  • MOL is conducting due diligence for the potential acquisition of NIS, inspecting the Pančevo refinery and other assets.
  • Negotiations are focused on the future operational period of the Pančevo refinery, with Russia wanting a longer term than MOL.
  • Serbia's government emphasizes that the Pančevo refinery must continue to operate regardless of the buyer.
  • The sale price is a major sticking point, with MOL reportedly offering around €2 billion, while Russia seeks more, citing their investment of over €3 billion.
  • The article highlights NIS's geopolitical importance in the Balkans, suggesting it is a key reason for Russia's reluctance to sell.
  • The status of NIS's oil fields and who will hold the 'golden share' are other unresolved issues.
  • An expert states that MOL has no mathematical reason to close the Pančevo refinery as long as there is demand for its products.
  • Hungary's continued import of Russian oil, with a US exemption, is noted.
  • The temporary restart permits for the Pančevo refinery are seen by some as a signal of US approval.
  • If the deal goes through, MOL would significantly expand its retail network in Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
