Shareholder blocks VimpelCom's worldwide expansion
Norwegian Telenor, a shareholder of Russia’s second largest mobile operator VimpelCom, is opposing plans for it to buy assets outside the CIS. Another shareholder, Altimo, is strongly behind the plan.
It is the latest in a series of disputes between the Norwegian company and its fellow VimpelCom shareholder Altimo.
