Prepreka za MOL oko kupovine NIS-a: Da li će antimonopolske komisije Srbije i EU blokirati preuzimanje?
Mađarska naftna i gasna kompanija „MOL Grupa“ u poslednjih nekoliko godina postala je jedan od najbitnijih igrača u regionu, pa i šire, kupujući energetske kompanije, a glavni je kandidat i za kupovinu Naftne industrije Srbije (NIS).

TL;DR
- MOL Group, a Hungarian oil and gas company, is a significant player in the regional energy market.
- MOL is a candidate to purchase Naftna industrija Srbije (NIS).
- MOL operates in over 30 countries, employing around 25,000 people.
- The company owns refineries in Hungary, Slovakia, and Croatia, and has a network of 2,400 gas stations across Central and Southeastern Europe.
- Acquiring NIS would give MOL control of the Pančevo refinery and petrochemical plant, in addition to its existing facilities.
- MOL's business activities span oil and gas exploration, refining, petrochemicals, and plastic recycling.
- In Serbia, MOL currently operates over 50 gas stations, with NIS being the market leader.
- If MOL acquires NIS, it could control nearly 400 gas stations in Serbia, representing about 25% of the market.
