‘The very fact that by the Conclusion as of 13th September this year the Government of the Republic of Serbia decided and recommended that the tax authorities, Deposit Insurance Agency and other creditors under state control convert their claims into capital, is the best proof that the Republic of Serbia and the Government believe in this company and thus continue to support Tigar’ said Trivunac, reminding that after the conversion the state of Serbia will become the majority owner of Tigar.

Tigar’s CEO Branislav Čurić thanked the Government for its decision on conversion of debt into equity.

I hope that this will be a good signal for the shareholders, creditors and workers ’, said Čurić.
