Druzba Adria envisages the transport of oil from Russia via pipelines in six countries to the Croatian port of Omisalj.
Eko-Kvarner is against the project and an agreement signed on the integration of the Druzba Adria pipeline as it maintains that tankers will endanger the ecosystem in the Adriatic.
Eko-Kvarner president Vjeran Pirsic said the environmental protection ministry yesterday replied the study would not be released in its entirety, which he said was unacceptable.
He said that unless the ministry released the whole study within two weeks and gave experts enough time to examine it, Eko-Kvarner would conclude that conditions for a legitimate public debate on Druzba Adria were not created and urge the European Green Party to intervene via the European Commission, the Council of Europe and the European Parliament.
Pirsic's bid for Croatia to walk out of the Druzba Adria project was endorsed at a press conference by Croatian Party of Rights MPs Tonci Tadic and Slaven Letica, Liberal Party leader Ivo Banac, and sociologist Vladimir Lay.
The HSP has stated from the start the project is harmful for Croatia, criticising President Stjepan Mesic's statements on this issue.
Letic said today the "Russian mob reaches to the President's Office," while Tadic said Mesic was either unfamiliar with the issue or was deliberately lying when stating that if Croatia walked out of the project Italy and Slovenia would step in. Tadic said he doubted Slovenia or Italy would endorse the project.
