Srbija je prvobitno objavila svoje planove za privatizaciju NIS-a još 2005, ali je ostvarila mali napredak u tom pravcu sve do maja ove godine, kad je njena nova vlada rekla da će prodati kompaniju do kraja 2007.
Serbia first announced its plans to privatise NIS back in 2005, but made little progress in that direction until May of this year, when its new government said it would sell the company by the end of 2007.
