      Russian Gazprom reportedly would like to take part in privatization of Unipetrol. Nevertheless, it would not be probably allowed to bid directly for Unipetrol, as the deadline to submit preliminary bids expired on 12 January. Thus, Gazprom could take part only as a member of consortia together with any of companies that would proceed to another privatization round. The investors reportedly asked to postpone the deadline to conduct due diligence by one month to mid-April. Source close to the privatization said that Russian Tatneft submitted the highest bid around CZK 16bn, while the lowest bid reportedly reached CZK 7bn.

       Participation of financially strong investor like Gazprom would increase competition among the investors and would push of higher offered price. The level of preliminary bids is also optimistic, but it could change after the investors complete due diligence of Unipetrol.
