Surgut plans no hostile takeover of Hungary's MOL - EcoMin

Considering that MOL has an interest in several energy producing areas of Russia, it is not possible for MOL to be too negative on Surgut. A lot of the talk is for show and public consumption, and they are actually thrilled to be involved with the Russians. Anyone that can help finance their pet projects in Hungary is welcome. Something like the Chinese, avowed anti-capitalists accepting to talk to Nixon, establishing diplomatic relations, leading to the opening of trade, etc and the rest is history. These two companies can do very well if they co-operate on their sectors.
