Agrokor

This accounts for over 50 percent of the country's exports and nearly half of the total retail revenues, according to figures released by the Serbian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PKS).

After the complex rescue of Croatia's biggest private company, Agrokor, which ended with a debt-for-equity swap, the biggest shareholder, Russia's Sherbank, told BIRN that it does not intend to own the firm long-term and wants to sell its stake.

After a Zagreb court ruled on Tuesday that that former owner of the indebted food giant Agrokor, Ivica Todoric, can be released after paying one million euros in bail, Todoric announced on Wednesday that he would run for elections, win power and turn Croatia in the right direction.

Zagreb County Court spokesperson Kresimir Devcic said on Tuesday that the court has decided that former Agrokor owner Ivica Todoric can be given a conditional release from pre-trial custody after the investigating judge received confirmation that one million euros in bail has been paid.

Ivica Todorovic, former owner of the hugely indebted food giant Agrokor, was extradited to Croatia from London on Wednesday evening.

Todoric was transferred to Croatia via a regular flight line of Croatia Airlines accompanied by plainclothes policemen. 

Former Economy Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Martina Dalic launched her new book 'The Collapse of Crony Capitalism' on Monday, insisting there was no corrupt conspiracy involved in the government's efforts to save Croatia's heavily indebted food and retail company Agrokor.

Croatian tycoon and former owner of indebted food giant Agrokor, will be extradited to Croatia after Judge Duncan Ouseley in London's High Court handed down his verdict on Thursday, making the first-instance verdict final.

And that man was Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, Chepurin said in a post on Twitter on Monday - a day after the Russian victory that led the nation's football team to the quarter-finals, where they will square off against Croatia, who were better than Denmark.

Chepurin said that Vucic's optimism expressed during their meeting on June 29 had "surprised him."

The temporary council of creditors of ailing food and retail conglomerate Agrokor unanimously voted on Tuesday to agree the text of a settlement under which Croatia's biggest domestic company will be taken over by its creditors.
