Prime Minister Plenković speaks about INA and other issues.
While almost everybody agrees with government’s plans to buy back MOL’s share of INA, the plan that the buyback should be financed by selling 25 percent of HEP is losing support.
Deputy Prime Minister Martina Dalić is heading the government’s efforts to buy back MOL’s share in INA, but at the same time her husband is member of INA’s board of directors.
It seems that most people do not trust government’s claims about supposed national interest.
INA conducted research in Syria which led to discovery of substantial reserves of oil and gas.
Unfavourable arbitration ruling means that Croatia will have to cover most of the costs.
After government announced plans to partially privatize HEP, everybody would like to get a piece of it, preferably for free.
Disagreements about INA have already brought down one government.
SDP says that it is unacceptable to partially privatize Croatian Electric Company (HEP) in order to renationalize oil company INA.
MOL’s share in INA will probably be bought by partial privatization of Croatian Electrical Company (HEP).
