Ćulibrk o NIS-u: Potpuno razumem Gasprom i rusku stranu, samo ne razumem nas
Urednik ekonomske rubrike u nedeljniku Radar Milan Ćulibrk ocenjuje da je u ovoj situaciji u kojoj se Srbija našla sa NIS za vlast najbolje rešenje da MOL kupi NIS, ali mu nije jasno zašto država ne iskoristi pravo preče kupovine koje ima po ugovoru.
TL;DR
- Milan Ćulibrk suggests MOL purchasing NIS is the optimal solution for Serbia but questions why the government isn't exercising its pre-emption rights.
- He argues that Serbia should have renegotiated the NIS deal when the South Stream pipeline project was abandoned, especially considering Russia pays a significantly lower mining rent.
- Ćulibrk understands Gazprom's position of wanting to sell NIS due to sanctions, but criticizes Serbia's inaction.
- He highlights the economic risks of a prolonged NIS refinery shutdown, potentially halting industrial production and straining the country's payment balance due to increased fuel imports.
- The journalist criticizes Serbia's foreign direct investment policy, describing it as flawed with excessive subsidies that benefit companies offering low wages, leading to factories leaving once subsidies expire.
- Ćulibrk cites the Fiat case as an example of how state aid hasn't resulted in better wages for local workers, with companies preferring to hire cheaper foreign labor.
