COALITION DISCUSSES PRIVATISATION OF SUNCANI HVAR

ZAGREB, Jan 29 (Hina) - The ruling coalition continues to work together in resolving any problems it may have, is the only official statement that could be obtained from a meeting of the five ruling coalition on Wednesday evening, convened to discuss contentious issues about the privatisation of the Suncani Hvar hotel chain. #L# The matter is discussed behind closed doors in Vila Prekrizje and after three hours, the only information released was that in addition to party heads, the first part of the meeting was also attended by the ministers involved in the privatisation process. All the facts concerning the sale of the Hvar based tourist company to Slovenia' Terme Catez were presented and discussed. Even though there was not official confirmation it is more than probably that the contract to sell the company will not find its way to the government's session tomorrow despite announcements made in the past few days. The contract itself, as could be heard earlier during the day from the relevant ministers, was being improved and refined. The contract was put together by the Croatian Privatisation Fund, however, the final decision will be made by the government. Coalition leaders continued the meeting late into the evening, however, reporters were advised that no statements would be made. (Hina) sp it
