MOL Magyar Olaj- és Gázipari Nyilvánosan Muködo Részvénytársaság (BUSE:MOL) is considering the sale of some of its 53 filling stations in Slovenia in order to obtain the approval of the European Commission for the purchase of the local unit of Austria's OMV, Slovenian media reported. "MOL does not rule out the possible sale of some of its assets as part of the transaction and will inform the public accordingly of all important events. The process is still ongoing, so we cannot disclose more detailed information," Slovenian daily Dnevnik quoted sources from MOL as saying on February 6, 2023.

The takeover will benefit competitiveness and customers on the Slovenian market, as it will create stronger competition for the market leader.
