(SBU) In early December, Minister of Economy Pavol Rusko
publicly announced that the GOS would attempt to repurchase
Transpetrol from the embattled Russian oil company Yukos.
Rusko's Director General, Milan Cigan, on December 22 told
charge that the Russians have shown no interest in
discussing such a possibility during the breakup of Yukos.
Nevertheless, the GOS remains ready and willing to proceed
with the purchase if the Russians express a desire to
negotiate.
