Lithuanian PM says he does not want PKN Orlen to buy the Mozejki refinery

"Orlen is not well known to us. Most doubt is caused by the ability of this company to supply oil to Mozejki. Some Russian oil companies clearly stated that no more oil would flow in this direction," said the PM. He also confirmed rumours that the Lithuanian government will use its preemptive right to purchase a 53.7% stake in Mozejki from Jukos. "These are still only press reports. We have received neither from Jukos nor from Lehman Brothers running the tender nor from Lithuanian government any official information that the government is planning to use its preemptive rights. We thus believe the tender will still continued and we will participate in it," said Dawid Piekarz, spokesman of Płock-based refinery. (Parkiet, p. 4) M.M.
