The PM, Stanislav Gross, said that he wants to speed up the privatization process and is ready to call an extraordinary Cabinet meeting to make the decision even before the vote of non-confidence. Gross also mentioned that the price will be above the market expectation (CZK 444 / share). Note that the final bids are due today, i.e. March 29. Originally the Cabinet was expected to make its decision on the winner/capital markets transaction at its regular meeting on Wednesday, April 6.
Some members of the privatization committee and the cabinet have spoken against the speeded up privatization, as it would not give enough time for the privatization committee to study the bids. Note that the opposition party, ODS, supports privatization via capital markets.
