The Czech daily MFDnes quotes Finance Minister Bohuslav Sobotka as saying that “there is no room for negotiation [with Agrofert about its request for new Unipetrol privatizaton conditions]; Agrofert will either pay by the end of this year, or we [the Cabinet] will terminate the transaction.”
The Anti-Monopoly Office recently approved the acquisition, but the approval is subject to certain conditions, which Agrofert is reviewing.
It is very likely that the tender will be cancelled.
