The bailiff had called a public tender for the sale of the entire capital of CIP on December 18, as in 2014 and 2015 Zeleznice Srbije lost a number of lawsuits filed by employees over the lack of payment of compensations for working in shifts, the company said.
Zeleznice Srbije repaid about 2 billion dinars ($19.8 million/16.7 million euro) to the employees in the last two years, the railway operator added.
