The government will involve external advisers in the process once it completes its own analysis on the potential sale options, he added. The government has a number of options regarding Omniva, which is part of its postal services group Eesti Post.

However, a partial listing on Nasdaq Tallinn is theoretically possible in the long term, he said, adding that it is not being discussed at the moment. The governmental discussion on other privatisation candidates may start in the end of 2017 or later, Michal said. 16.05.2016 Proprietary Intelligence OT Logistics looking Listed Polish logistics group OT Logistics plans acquisitions of logistics at firms from companies, Polish daily Parkiet reported.
