Decision on Agroziv on December 8

- The value of Agroziv has been estimated at 34 million euros and public company Srbijagas has offered 11.3 million euros. Regardless of the fact that the bid is lower, we believe it is a good solution, especially if all 1,000 employees keep their jobs. The Board of Creditors will have a meeting tomorrow at 1 PM and I believe that they will accept the offer of public company Srbijagas - Stojin Ziva, the Chairman of the Executive Board of Nezavisnost Trade Union and Agroziv, told daily paper Blic.

The trade union is of the opinion that the Government of Serbia's decision on the takeover of Agroziv by public company Srbijagas is a good move that will save the chicken meat market of Serbia from being controlled by foreigners.

- If we were taken over by Perutnina Ptuj, the market would be controlled by Slovenians who would most certainly close the slaughterhouse in Zitiste because they have the same capacity in Backa Topola. The public company, as the owner, guarantees preservation of the chicken production - says Stojin who claims that the production in Agroziv, which is in bankruptcy since 2008, flows without interruption. The documentation for acquisition of Agroziv has been purchased only by public company Srbijagas.
