Three companies interested in MSK – Bid submission deadline August 10

Three companies have bought out the technical documentation for MSK Kikinda. They have until August 10 to make concrete offers.

That’s the deadline for interested investors to decide whether to join the race for 99.9% of this company. The initial price is EUR 20.4 million. If the second sale is unsuccessful as well, MSK will enter the third round by the end of September. This can be seen from the Memorandum signed with the International Monetary Fund, Novosti reports.

Currently, 104 companies remain unsold. Public invitations for six companies are ongoing, and sales ads for nine companies are being prepared. The Ministry of Economy announces that it will place public invitations for the privatization of all other companies within the privatization portfolio if the conditions are met. PKB is the first on the list, and the ad will be placed in August.

– The Decision of the Government of Serbia defines that the process of the privatization of PKB Korporacija and its subsidiaries – Veterinarska Stanica PKB, Eko-lab, PKB Agroekonomik – be carried out using the method of a public collection of bids with a public auction in a unified procedure – the Ministry of Economy says.
