Croatia is interested in finding out the full truth about the case of
Dubrovacka Bank and nobody is even thinking about hiding anything,
Sanader said answering a question by Croatian Party of Rights (HSP)
deputy Vlado Jukic.
The issue of Dubrovacka Bank was opened by Frano Matusic of the
Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ), who asked Finance Minister Ivan Suker
to comment on media reports that the bank was sold to an unknown
company from the Cayman Islands, which had one employee.
Suker answered that the contract on the sale of the bank was a
business secret and that the government would check it and send him a
written answer.
Anto Djapic of the HSP wanted to know if the government was
considering changing the Law on the Croatian National Bank and
re-introducing parliamentary control over the bank's work in light of
the HNB's major losses in 2002 and 2003.
Sanader said that one should see how this matter was regulated in
Europe, but that the government would not meddle into the independence
of the central bank.
Sanader promised that the government would provide the parliament with
all the necessary information if it decided to form a commission to
investigate the financing of the Viktor Lenac shipyard, i.e. the
spending of tax payers' money on what he called "a project doomed to
failure".
