"The government should establish a company for maintaining and managing the Zagreb-Lipovac motorway, sell that company at a price of EUR one billion to pension funds, guarantee a minimum revenues of four percent in the next 30 years and thus stabilise the pension funds and retain the Croatian ownership of that key property," Cacic said at a news conference in Zagreb on Monday.
He said this against a backdrop of what he said the government's announcements of a possibility for franchising the said motorway to a private company.
Cacic who is at the helm of the second strongest opposition parliamentary party, holds that the government has assessed that the franchising of the motorway would bring about one billion euros into the state budget while the concession holder would make four billion in the next 30 years.
He ironically commented on the government's idea about concession as one "of a series of fantastic ideas" recently proposed.
