Czech Unipetrol shares suspended from trade

Shares in Czech oil company Unipetrol have been suspended from trading Wednesday to give the government time to decide on a Polish privatization bid. Unipetrol shares have soared to new highs on speculation of a takeover bid by Polish refining company PKN Orlen which wants to buy a 63 percent stake. Unipetrol's shares rose almost 15 percent in high volume trading Tuesday.
