Finance Examines Lasko's Takeover Intent for Union

Ljubljana, 17 July - The Slovene business daily Finance on Wednesday examines the announcement of Slovenia's largest brewer Pivovarna Lasko that it intends to take over rival Slovene brewer Pivovarna Union, saying that the public offer put forward by Lasko is worthy of compliment. The compliment, believes Finance, should be given to Lasko because it has thus opted to distance itself from the more shady trading it was involved in when it first battled Belgian brewer Interbrew for control of Union.
