Eleven companies interested in strategic partnership with RTB Bor

Serbian Minister of Mining and Energy Aleksandar Antic announced today that the tender for the strategic partner for RTB Bor would open in the upcoming days and that the final preparations were in progress. He told TV Prva that 11 companies had expressed serious interest up till then and that they had signed confidentiality agreements.

According to him, Chinese companies are the most interested, and there are also companies from Russia and Canada, a company from Turkey, as well as a Kazakh-European consortium.

– The aim is to have the job done as well as possible – Antic said and added that the capital issue was not whether it was to be done in the current or the next week, but for it to be done in Serbia's best interest.

Antic said that he expected several serious offers.

– In the past period, several mining companies from various parts of the world have expressed interest and we expect them to take part in the tender. The Chinese have become giants in the economic industrial life and if their offers are serious and if they recognize the strategic interest for RTB, they might be serious contenders – Antic said.
