Decision on Mercator Sale Postponed as Competition Watchdog Intervenes

Laško/Ljubljana, 26 April - The supervisory board of Pivovarna Lasko was expected to decide Tuesday on how it will sell its 23.3% stake in retailer Mercator, but the session was suspended after the Competition Protection Office threw a spanner in the works just hours earlier by banning Lasko and five banks from disposing their Mercator stock.
