Czech Agrofert will not bid for Unipetrol, the Czech daily MFDnes reports. So far, reportedly only PKN Orlen of Poland has expressed interest in the Unipetrol privatization, in which the government seeks for the second time to sell it 63% stake in the petrochemical holding. The Czech daily HN reported yesterday that preliminary interest should be expressed by December 20. The invitation for an expression of interest published by the government two weeks ago stated that selected companies will be invited to a tender after November 20.
