WARSAW, March 16 (Reuters) - Czech power group CEZ is among the five bidders for Poland's 50 percent stake in utility PAK, a newspaper reported on Tuesday, without citing sources.
Polish state utility Enea is the sole declared bidder for the stake in PAK, which is the subject of an ownership dispute between the government and conglomerate Elektrim, controlled by media mogul Zygmunt Solorz-Zak.
Business daily Puls Biznesu said mining group New World Resources and boiler maker Rafako, in which Elektrim has a stake, had also offered to buy 50 percent of PAK. The paper said Cyprus-registered company J&P was also bidding.
But an NWR representative denied it made an offer.
CEZ declined to comment, while the other potential bidders were not immediately available.
Poland's treasury ministry, which oversees state assets, said on Monday it received several offers for its holding, but did not elaborate.
