Overall comment
This deal is splited from #1034 - Kernel Holding S.A., previously it was MK Group (Serbia)
Historically the deal had Serbian ties (was part of MK holding). Currently, this is a split deal from #1034 and part of Kernel holding. Also closely connected to deals 5742 and 5743 as they were purchased at the same time and operate in the same region. In 2018, the operating company was terminated due to reorganization processes. An assignee is the Agrofirm "Hliborob" LLC (41493) - another subsidiary within the Kernel Group structure.
