Representatives of the National Property Fund (FNM), the Ministry of Economy and the foreign investor are due to meet in order to discuss the matter very soon, the daily reports. According to an anonymous source, no exact sum has yet been set for the 66-percent stake.

"It's natural that you overstate your demands slightly so that you can lower your requirements during the talks," the source is reported as saying.

Both sides are claiming that the other should pay out. Enel, for example, is asking Slovakia for a refund of Sk2.5 billion (€77.3 million). TASR
