According to Croatioan daily Jutarnji List, Magyar said he had spoken briefly with his Croatian counterpart, Andrej Plenković, at the forum, and the sides agreed that their foreign and economy ministers would begin talks “within the foreseeable future” on ties between MOL and INA.
“We’re ready to negotiate. Naturally, everybody will defend their own national interest, but that’s normal. At the same time, we all see the opportunity for the start of a new chapter in bilateral ties,” Magyar said.
Plenković said unresolved issues regarding INA and MOL were preventing bilateral ties from advancing, while highlighting minority rights, economic ties, tourism and energy interconnectors as areas of successful cooperation.
“I think we’re in a situation to try to resolve this matter, and then take further steps,” he added.
MOL holds a 49.08% stake in INA but exercises management rights in the company. The Croatian state owns 44.84% of INA.
