Serbia's Telekom's interest in buying IPKO, ARKEP understood by media

Still nothing official has to buy the operator IPKO from Serbia's Telekom, so has the board member of the Electronic and Post Communications Authority (ARKEP), Albania Pula, said during reporting to the parliamentary Commission for Economy and Trade.

While stressing that a negotiation process between Slovenia's Telekom and Serbia's has been reported by the media.

Even the official announcement we like ARKEP don't have of what was said in the media. But the need for state intervention is always necessary for national security. I would personally not sign such a license”, he said.

While Pula has said that these circulations in the media may also be speculation, the IPKO sale process has begun by July 5th.

If a suspicion of the subject occurs comes to us, but since we have received no official notice we have requested official information from IPKO”, he said.

Commission member Iron Murati said that without the responsibility of ARKEP it is because he has not officially requested procedures for selling this operator, in this case of IPKO.

While Pula has said she has met government officials for what has circulated in the media over Serbia's Telekom's interest in IPKO. He has said the board has mandated decision-making is functional in the ARKEP.
