Rosneft representatives will travel to Berlin on Friday to discuss a possible sale of the Russian oil giant's German assets with German government officials amongst other options, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters. The meeting is the first of its kind since Berlin placed local units of Rosneft, which owns 54.17% of PCK Schwedt refinery, under trusteeship, keeping Rosneft as the legal owner of the stake but stripping it of ability to exert control.

A spokesperson for the economy ministry declined to comment. Rosneft was not immediately available for comment.
