ANALYSIS - SEE M&A Market Set for Busy H2 After Eventful H1

SOFIA (Bulgaria), July 7 (SeeNews) - With the brisk mergers and acquisitions activity in Southeast Europe in the first half of 2011 now in the rear-view mirror, the deal-making pipeline for the next six months looks just as busy, analysts said.
