UAE's Etihad to buy 49 percent stake in Serbian airline | Reuters:
"United Arab Emirates' Etihad Airways, which has stakes in Virgin Australia (VAH.AX) and Air Berlin (AB1.DE), will acquire a 49 percent stake in Serbia's loss-making JAT Airways.
Serbia is looking to offload loss-making state enterprises, including JAT, pharmaceuticals firm Galenika and the Zelezara Smederevo steel mill, to help contain its budget deficit.
The carriers said in a joint news conference that Abu Dhabi-based Etihad would provide a $40 million loan facility to JAT, which would be converted into equity on January 1, 2014."
