Representatives of the Serbian Ministry of Economy have signed an agreement on the sale of property of “Poljoprivredna korporacija Beograd” (PKB) with the company Al Dahra from Irig today, for the price of EUR105,055 million.

Buyer’s parent company is Al Dahra from the United Arab Emirates.

The price of PKB’s livestock will also be added to the sales price, according to inventory that will be done just before introduction of the buyer to its assets, and it will amount to 100 percent of the estimated value of livestock on the day of inventory.

Secretary of State at the Ministry of Economy Dragan Stevanovic, who has signed sales and purchase agreement with Khadim Abdulla Al Darei of the company Al Dahra, has said that the price of livestock will be somewhat higher than EUR17 million.

According to Stevanovic, all employees of PKB, 1,706 of them, will be offered a job, but estimates suggest that it is optimal for this combined collective to have 1,000 workers in the next three years.
