"We will start the week with positivity, especially since we have been working towards it for four long years. And when the decision (albeit a compromise) has been approved by all respected parties, Ukrposhta begins the process of acquiring the bank. We are announcing a tender for an appraiser who can help us in this serious matter," he wrote on his Facebook page on Monday.

According to him, the acquired bank will be small, without branches or with a small number of them and without a portfolio of troubled assets.
