Telekom Montenegro (TCG), Magyar Telekom’s Montenegrin subsidiary, has held an 11.5% stake in CKB, Montenegro’s largest retail bank, since 1999.

The closure of the deal is anticipated at the end of 2006 and is subject to approval by Hungarian and Montenegrin financial supervisory authorities and the Montenegrin competition authority.” OTP said earlier today it agreed to pay 105 million euros for 100% of Crnogorska as it expands in the Balkans.
