Kostic repeats expression of interest in part of Agrokor – Investments in Slovenia and Montenegro more important than purchase of PKB
– Concrete steps depend on the offer and the sale process itself. Our ambition is not to buy the entirety of Agrokor, but only those parts that will contribute to the strengthening of the competitiveness of our company in the European and the regional market – said the head of MK Group.
Of course, as he added, an adequate price is also an important factor.
He said that, at the moment, the group's interest in the purchase of additional agricultural land had dropped and that they found PKB less interesting than before.
– We work more than 30,000 hectares and strive to increase yield efficiency in our parcels. When it comes to new investments, we would rather choose the banking sector in Slovenia or the hotel business in Montenegro and the region than an investment in PKB – Kostic said.
Talking about the regional operations, he says that MK Group is present in Slovenia, Croatia and Montenegro and that it plans to expand its business in these countries in the upcoming period.
– Our fields of interest are still agriculture, with a special focus on processing capacities, banking and tourism, which is constantly growing, given the number of tourists choosing the Adriatic rather than Africa and Turkey – Kostic said.
Agrokor solvency at the end of February EUR 226.2 million

Furthermore, an additional amount of more than EUR 2.1 billion has been paid to the suppliers in current liabilities related to the goods and services delivered after the introduction of the extraordinary management.
