Romania's Rompetrol confirms NIS interest

With all due respect to the Romanians it is nevertheless in Serbia's interest to sell this company to an actual oil producing state such as Norway or Russia.The Russians have the most money to pay and are interested in long term profits as opposed to Western companies who are obssessed with quarterly profits so they are probably the best bet for Serbia at this time.In addition option contracts should be sold to the Russians regarding the Kosovo mineral and mine assets while Serbia still holds the legal deed to the land so as to ensure Serb ownership of Kosovo for eternity backed by Russian security guarantees.

Very well stated.

Ropetrol is actually KazMunaiGaz of Kazahstan. Those and Gazprom are like twin brothers. So you get the same russian mafia anyway.

Are you talking about the same Russia that cut off it's supply to Ukraine, Poland, Moldova et al. in the middle of winter? Is this an example of Russian corporate altruism?

How much of, or how NIS will finally be sold and run, is decided by the government. In which case Norway would be a good role model for the citizens of Serbia.
