Kompanija "Mercator" dogovorila je pregovarački sporazum sa 38 banaka o odlaganju plaćanja dugova, a konačni dogovor očekuje se do 30. juna, do kada važi moratorijum na otplatu glavnice za sve kredite.

Sporazum nije standardni moratorijum koji bi podrazumevao dodatne obaveze, već se radi se o usklađivanju otplate obaveza sa novčanim tokovima i smanjenje rizika refinansiranja, rekao je glavni finansijski službenik Drago Kavek, a prenela je novinska agencija STA.

Ukupan finansijski dug "Mercatora" iznosi oko milijardu evra, od čega 46% čine dugoročne obaveze.

Firma "East Media Group" namerava da u dogledno vreme deo svog vlasništva u kompaniji "Politika novine i magazini" (PNM) ustupi "Politici a.d." što bi uvećalo udeo države Srbije u PNM, saopštila je juče "Politika".

- "East Media Group", novi vlasnik WAZ-ovog udela od 50% u kompaniji PNM, i "Politika a.d." (koja takođe ima 50% udela), konstituisali su novu Skupštinu PNM, a za predsednika je izabran Mita Katić iz redova novog vlasnika - navodi se u saopštenju.

Zamenik skupštine je član Nadzornog odbora "Politika a.d." Kosta Sandić.

- Na skupštini se razgovaralo o nameri "East Media Group" da u dogledno vreme deo svog vlasništva ustupi "Politici a.d." što bi uvećalo udeo države Srbije u vlasništvu PNM-a - navodi se u saopštenju.

Razgovaralo se i o unapređenju poslovanja, modernizaciji štamparskog procesa, digitalizaciji izdanja, kao i o načinima koji bi doprineli povećanju tiraža novina i magazina.

Potpredsednik Vlade Srbije Aleksandar Vučić izjavio je 17. septembra 2012. godine da je da iza kupovine 50% vlasnistva u "Politici" stoji vlasnik "Farmakoma" Miroslav Bogićević, koji je to učinio kao uslugu Demokratskoj stranci.

Bogićević je tada državnim organima potvrdio da je kupio 50% akcija "Politike".

Osim promene vlasništva u današnjim medijima se govori i o kadrovskim novinama. "Danas" piše da bi predsednica Udruženja novinara Srbije Ljiljana Smajlović mogla da se ponovo nađe na mestu glavne i odgovorne urednice dnevnog lista "Politika", nakon što je sa tog mesta smenjena 2008. godine.

Turkey's Jeanci Istanbul, which will soon open a production facility in Leskovac, is also going to open a factory in Novi Pazar this year, Trade Minister Rasim Ljajic said at yesterday's opening ceremony of the second international textile fair Balkan Textile 2013 in that town.

This fair was ceremoniously opened by Ljajic and Turkish Ambassador to Serbia Mehmet Kemal Bozaj.

Balkan Textile, which will be open until March 1st, is organized by the local self-government and Istanbul-based Meridyen fuar in the sports arena Pendik, and this even is an opportunity for textile companies to get familiar with the latest offer in the market, including everything from raw materials to final products.

The fair gathers 28 Turkish manufacturers of textile, canvas and raw materials as well as eight companies from Serbia, with five of them based in the town that hosts this event.

Ljajic also noted that political relations between Serbia and Turkey were good, but that the economic cooperation could be much better.

- I believe that the arrival of Jeanci Istanbul will be a good recommendation for other Turkish companies to come to this town - said Ljajic who was born in Novi Pazar.

This fair is expected to be visited by numerous businessmen from Serbia as well as Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Romania.

Slovenia's household appliances maker Gorenje said Wednesday that it had sold two of its subsidiaries engaged in furniture manufacture, Gorenje Kuhinje (Gorenje Kitchens) and Gorenje Unutrasnja Oprema (Gorenje Interior Equipment), to the investment fund CoBe Capital, thus abandoning furniture production.

The new owner will continue to produce furniture at facilities in Maribor, Velenje and Nazarje, which employ a total of about 400 workers, Gorenje announced in a release published on the website of the Ljubljana Stock Exchange.

As people at Gorenje stressed, furniture production is not the core activity of this company and has brought nothing but losses over the last three years. The terms of sale negotiated between Gorenje and CoBe Capital have not been unveiled.

CoBe Capital has issued a release saying that they are satisfied with the new acquisition in Slovenia, adding that it should strengthen their production capacity and complement their existing operations in France, Germany and Austria.

- We see tremendous opportunity to grow the furniture division of Gorenje through its quality craftsmanship, design and efficient production facilities offering quite competitive cost structures - said Neal Cohen, CoBe Capital’s founder and managing director.
