The Polish Merkury Market is finalizing the acquisition of 16 trade centers of Emmezeta in Croatia and Serbia from LCN Capital Partners in a transaction worth around EUR 120 million, reveals the Croatian weekly Lider. This is a transaction which has not been officially confirmed by either of the involved parties, but it seems to have been in the making for a long time, Jutarnji reports.

Merkury Market, one of the biggest traders of furniture, home equipment and building materials in central Europe, founded a factory in Croatia in February, named LCN EMZ Adria, whose director, Adrzej Sitarz, is also a member of the management of Fliba d.o.o, which, in fact, represents Emmezeta. Sitarz and the chairman of the management of Fliba, Slobodan Skolnik, also manage Emmezeta in Serbia, which has five department stores, the article says.

As a founder of Fiba and Emmezeta Srbija, the registers cite the French company Confarma, a member of Steinhoff Group, but, according to Lider, Merkury Market is buying Emmezeta from LCN Capital Partners.

Fliba, which manages 11 trade centers of Emmezeta, realized an income of around 870 million kunas last year, has 670 employees, and in the past three years, it has realized a profit of a total of 53 million kunas. Emmezeta Srbija realized an income of EUR 29 million in 2019. Merkury Market was founded in 1991. From Poland, it first expanded to Slovakia, and its regional expansion was boosted in 2015 with the purchase of 18 trade centers of Baumax in the Czech Republic. Now, in only one move, it will expand to both Croatia and Serbia, the paper writes.

The owner of Merkury Market, Jan Papierz, is regularly included by Forbes among the 100 richest people in Poland. In 1991, he started a business in his home town of Krosno, by opening a construction material storage site. Currently, he has 20 trade centers in Poland alone.

Poljski Merkury Market je u završnoj fazi preuzimanja šesnaest tržnih centara Emmezete u Hrvatskoj i Srbiji od LCN Capital Partnersa u transakciji vrednoj oko 120 miliona evra, otkrio je hrvatski nedeljnik Lider, a tu informaciju je potvrdio Slobodan Školnik, predsednik Uprave kompanije Emmezeta Balkans, prenosi Jutarnji list.
Emmezeta u Srbiji u svom sastavu ima pet robnih kuća, a u 2019. godini ostvarila je prihod od 29 miliona evra.

Merkury Market osnovan je 1991., iz matične Poljske prvo se proširio na Slovačku, a regionalnu ekspanziju pojačao je 2015. kupovinom 18 tržnih centara Baumaxa u Češkoj. Sada će se jednim potezom proširiti i na Hrvatsku i Srbiju. Preuzevši Baumaxove trgovine u Češkoj, Merkury ih je preimenovao u svoje. Stoga će biti zanimljivo videti hoće li i Emmezeta doživeti sličnu sudbinu ili će nastaviti da posluje pod sadašnjim imenom.

Vlasnika Merkury Marketa Jana Papierca magazin Forbes redovno uvrštava među 100 najbogatijih Poljaka, navodeći kako je reč o milijarderu koji je 1991. počeo biznis u rodnom Krosnom otvorivši skladište građevinskog materijala, a trenutno raspolaže sa 20 tržnih centara samo u Poljskoj.

Potpredsednica Vlade i ministarka rudarstva i energetike Zorana Mihajlović je podsetila da je novi investicioni ciklus vredan 17 milijardi evra, a da će više od 10 milijardi biti namenjeno obnovljivim izvorima energije.
VARŠAVA - Najveći potencijal za nove investicije postoji u resoru energetike, a zelena agenda je globalna tema na kojoj je neophodna saradnja svih država, izjavila je potpredsednica Vlade i ministarka rudarstva i energetike Zorana Mihajlović po završetku konferencije Partnerstva za transatlantsku energetsku i klimatsku saradnju (P-TEČ) u Varšavi.

„Ni jedna zemlja ne može sama, posebno kada je u pitanju energetska bezbednost i borba sa klimatskim promenama. Najveći rezultat konferencije je da ćemo zajedno raditi na tome da imamo dovoljno zelene energije, iako naravno svaka zemlja definiše dinamiku procesa. To je važno i za Evropu, ali i za ceo svet", rekla je ministarka Mihajlović.

U Elektroprivredi Srbije potpisan je ugovor o prodaji zelene energije EPS-a ambasadi Danske u Beogradu, čime se povećao broj kupaca koji od Elektroprivrede kupuju ovu vrstu energije.

Ugovor su potpisali izvršni direktor za proizvodnju energije u EPS-u Savo Bezmarević i danska ambasadorka u Beogradu Suzan Šajn.

Bezmarević je rekao da je paket ZelEPS namenjen komercijalnim kupcima naišao na veoma dobar odziv među kupcima i da je za dve i po godine, koliko postoji, i to u pandemijskim uslovima ugovorena prodaja zelene energije sa garancijom porekla sa 70 kupaca.

- Prodata zelena energija sa garancijom porekla u 2020. godini je bila 10 puta veća nego u 2019, a ove godine smo nastavili sa rastom, pa je trenutno ugovorena prodaja oko 650 miliona kilovat-sati. Koliko sve ide u dobrom, zelenom pravcu pokazuje i podatak da smo samo u poslednja tri meseca ugovorili prodaju 150 miliona kilovat-sati više nego u prvoj polovini godine - rekao je on.

Danska ambasadorka Suzan Šajn istakla je da je zelena agenda na vrhu danskih prioriteta, a to su usvovjili i dansko ministarstvo spoljnih poslova i misije po svetu, pa prate zelene principe.

- I mi u ambasadi u Beogradu smo se uključili, pa razdvajamo otpad, uveli smo komposter, pokušavamo da koristimo što manje plastike i sada se prebacujemo na zelenu energiju, zahvaljujući našoj saradnji sa EPS-om - rekla je Šajn i dodala da se nada da će i druge ambasade i drugi ljudi krenuti tim putem.

The agreement on the sale of green energy of Elektroprivreda Srbije (EPS) to the Embassy of Denmark in Belgrade has been signed at EPS, whereby the number of purchasers of this kind of energy from EPS has increased.

The agreement was signed by the executive director for the production of energy at EPS, Savo Bezmarevic, and the Danish ambassador to Belgrade, Susanne Shine.

Bezmarevic said that the ZelEPS green energy package, meant for commercial buyers, proved to be very popular among clients and that, in its two and a half years of existence, even in the conditions of the pandemic, the sale of green energy with a guarantee of origin had been agreed with 70 purchasers.

– The sold green energy with a guarantee of origin in 2020 was 10 times higher than in 2019, and this year we have continued growing, with around 650 million kilowatt-hours contracted at the moment. The success of this green direction is also shown by the fact that, in the past three months alone, we contracted the sale of 150 million kilowatt-hours more than in the first half of the year – he said.

Danish Ambassador Susanne Shine pointed out that green agenda was at the top of Danish priorities, and that this was also true of the Danish foreign ministry and the diplomatic representations throughout the world, which follow the green principles.

– The embassy in Belgrade has joined this as well. We separate waste, we have introduced a composter, we are trying to use as little plastic as possible and we are now switching to green energy, thanks to our cooperation with EPS – Shine said and added that she hoped that other embassies and other people would follow that path as well.
