All other circumstances, including final result of the NATO Summit in Bucharest, do not have direct impact on the companies operation, but, primary, reflect the time dynamic of the price movements on the market.
  • Board of directors shall monitor market situation on a continuous daily basis and shall undertake activities accordingly.
