Representatives of Hungarian oil and gas company MOL and the Croatian government resumed negotiations over Croatia’s INA in Zagreb, Croatian news agency HINA said. HINA said the talks were expected to focus on management rights in INA, as announced earlier by Croatian Economy Minister Ivan Vrdoljak who heads Croatia’s team of negotiators. The Croatian government postponed talks with MOL slated for late October after MOL replaced its chief negotiator, Sandor Csanyi, and changed its position. At the talks, MOL’s negotiating team is being headed by MOL executives Jozsef Molnar and Oszkar Vilagi, and INA CEO Zoltan Aldott, HINA said. The sides last held talks in September. MOL owns a little under 50pc of INA’s shares. The Croatian state is the other big stakeholder. The two shareholders have often been at odds over the way the company is managed, and tensions rose early in October, after Croatian police issued an arrest warrant for MOL chairman-CEO Zsolt Hernadi. He is suspected of bribing former Croatian prime minister Ivo Sanader to give MOL management rights in INA. Hungary’s government responded to the issue of the warrant saying the Croatian government intended to use „unbusinesslike tools” to „pressure” MOL into parting with its stake in INA without making a buyout offer. Prime Minister Viktor Orban said later that Hungary’s „extraordinary” long-standing relationship with Croatia was far dearer than MOL’s stake in INA.
