Originally, the government hoped to sell the famous brewery – worth an estimated 1.3 billion euros – by the end of its term, but now it appears the preparations won’t be completed before mid-2010. Prime Minister Mirek Topolánek made clear on Tuesday that the government would rather delay the company’s sale, rather than rush a deal, in order to ensure the brand’s survival into the future. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/budvary.jpg?timestamp=1697464204 https://english.radio.cz/pm-makes-clear-sale-state-owned-brewer-budvar-unlikely-2010-8593842 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
