First step made
Providing the loan for HIP Petrohemija with the guarantee of the Republic of Serbia is just a part of the Agreement on Strategic Partnership between NIS (Oil Industry of Serbia) and Serbian Government in a field of increasing production efficiency and financial stability of HIP-Petrohemija, which was signed on November 21, by NIS CEO Kirill Kravchenko and Minister of Economy and Regional Development, Nebojsa Ciric.
Since the adoption of the Republic Budget by the National Assembly is expected to take place before December 30, 2011, at the latest, the adopted proposal for the budget act is the first step in the investment program realization and also presents confirmation by Serbian Goverenment of their intention to support the business and financial recovery to HIP-Petrohemija – as judged by the company management who also express their expectation that the Government will also support HIP-Petrohemija in 2013, for additional amount of EUR 35,000,000, as predicted by the investment program.
