The former CEO of Slovenske elektrarne (SE) and member of the opposition party LS-HZDS, Tibor Mikus, said that he was not happy with Enel being recommended as the tender's winner (for the 66% stake in SE) and that he would have preferred CEZ. The Slovakian Finance Minister Pavol Rusko is to submit his recommendation to the Cabinet on September 29 or October 6. Note that Rusko has said he was satisfied with the tender result. The final decision lies solely with the Cabinet. Given the available information on the bids, we assess the possible failure of CEZ to win the tender as positive news.
