Hungary's PM Orbán Encourages MOL To Pull Out Of Croatia
Croatia is applying non-economic measures in its dispute with MOL that do not make it justified for the Hungarian energy company to remain in the Croatian market, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on Friday.

Speaking in his regular biweekly interview with Kossuth Rádió, he said the long-standing Croatian-Hungarian friendship must not be endangered by any kind of business conflict.

The cabinet therefore recommends that Croatia consider taking the shares of energy company INA into state management, as was done in Hungary, Orbán added.

That, however, must be pursued in a civilised manner, he continued, saying nobody needs to be arrested or slandered with dubious charges.
