Weekly Review of Slovenian Business & Economy from 2 to 8 August

Ljubljana, 10 August - Due to the current economic climate, the privatisation of the three core companies of the Slovenian Steelworks group has been suspended, as the Economic Ministry has decided that 80-percent state-owned stakes in Acroni Jesenice, Metal Ravne and Nozi Ravne would not be sold for now. Meanwhile, Slovenian oil trader Petrol decided not to submit a binding bid for the purchase of the majority stake in Serbia's Beopetrol.
