Society yesterday addressed the financing of the hippodrome and

The financing of the hippodrome or activities in connection with
the traditional tournament can no longer be "hidden" in the defence
ministry budget, Antunovic said, adding it was agreed on how to deal
with these issues.
The defence ministry budget no longer has an item for that purpose
and funds will no longer be used for the maintenance of the
hippodrome, she said, but added the ministry would take care of the
horses because it owned them.
The minister said what the Sinjska Alka tournament was supposed to
be and the rights and responsibilities of its organisers should
already have been defined.
