COPENHAGEN, July 19 (Reuters) – Carlsberg on
Wednesday said Russia had appointed a temporary management of
Baltika Breweries and it remained unclear what effect recent
developments would have for the Danish brewer’s stake in
Baltika.
«Carlsberg Group no longer retains control of the management
or operations of Baltika Breweries,» Carlsberg said in a
statement.
«It is unclear to Carlsberg Group what implications this
development will have on the ongoing operations of Baltika
Breweries in Russia as well as the current sales process,» it
said.
Russia last week took control of Carlsberg’s stake in
Baltika Breweries.
