Croatian oil and gas company INA [ZSE:INA-R-A] said on Wednesday it has invited
potential partners to notify their interest in managing some of its filling
stations after a recent pilot project in this area proved
successful.
Under the proposed partnership model, INA would retain
ownership of its retail assets including relevant concessions, property,
facilities, infrastructure and goods, while the entrepreneur manages these
resources against an agreed fee, the company said in a statement.
At the
end of March, INA Group operated a network of 445 filling stations - up by one
from the end of 2013 - including 392 in Croatia, 46 in Bosnia and Herzegovina,
six in Slovenia and one in Montenegro.
