The attempt to sell the former Lukavac industrial complex, Koksara, has failed after no offers were received for the minimum asking price of 108 million convertible marks. The asset is estimated to be worth approximately 225 million marks.

Following the sale collapse, former employees staged protests to demand the recognition of seniority and the payment of outstanding wages. Concurrently, the Cantonal Prosecutor's Office in Tuzla and the Federal Prosecutor's Office have launched pre-trial investigations into alleged misconduct by former directors. This includes a criminal complaint against ex-director Dževad Kasumović regarding the period surrounding the bankruptcy. 

Bankruptcy trustee Almir Bajrić stated that a partial sale of specific sections, such as the AMK, Energane, the Azotara fertilizer plant, and the machine workshop, is being explored. Bajrić asserted that workers would receive full compensation while protesters continue to seek a swift judicial response.
