Mladinska knjiga Zalozba d.d. will be put up for sale in early 2015 for the fourth time but now free of debt and excluding real estate, local media reported. Mladinska knjiga's major owners Druzba Za Upravljanje Terjatev Bank DD and Abanka Vipa, d.d. will hold a tender in the coming weeks, Dnevnik said, citing DUTB. Mladinska knjiga will bundle its debt and real estate into a new company and will thus sell only its core assets.

"We are currently in the final stages of preparing a strategy for the publishing house. We expect to decide early next year in what form to continue the sales process," DUTB explained to Dnevnik. According to the daily the purchase price will not be higher than €5.5 million.
