Unipetrol: The rising number of conflicts between Unipetrol and an IOC consortium (they hold 51%, and 49% in Ceska rafinerska, respectively) indicates that an agreement over supply prices between Ceska rafinerska and Chemopetrol (Unipetrol’s two biggest subsidiaries) may be far off. This may complicate Unipetrol’s privatization, and negatively affect the operational performance of the companies involved.
