Concerning the article in the daily newspaper "Vecer" of 13.12.2004 about the interest shown from EBRD and Soros for buyout of a control package of bank's shares, Ohridska banka AD Ohrid informs that there have been talks and correspondence, but only on the non-formal level of showing interest and exchange of information. The talks have ended without a concrete result, due to the fact that Soros and EBRD were interested in a strategic buyout, which is not in accordance with the business and development policy of the bank, adopted from the highest management bodies.
