"Taking into account the attractiveness of this asset and
keeping in mind that this would allow us to resolve to a large
extent the problem of the budget deficit, I believe a sale of
part of Rosneft will be a priority project now," Ulyukayev told
journalists on a visit to the Kursk Region in central Russia.
"We should do our best to do it in 2016."
He also said that it was technically possible to privatise
mid-sized oil company Bashneft <BANE.MM> at the end of 2016 or
in 2017, if there was "a political decision".
