Prishtina [Pristina], 23 September: The Kosova [Kosovo] Trust Agency [KTA] board launched yesterday evening the ninth wave of privatization, which will include 22 Socially Owned Enterprises [SOEs].

The KTA also agreed that there would be no second bids. The board deputy Bujar Dugolli said that it was an important decision, because it will eliminate possible secret agreements, which aim at buying the SOEs at cheaper price.
