US embassy cable - 04BRATISLAVA1151

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

(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.
