Under the bill on a Croatian property fund, the management and use
of state-owned shares should be transferred from the Croatian
Privatisation Fund (HFP) to a new property fund, which would also
mean that the HFP would be abolished.
The bill was opposed by the Croatian Democratic Union, the Social
Liberal Party, and the Croatian True Revival, which accused the
government of trying to transfer the entire state property to the
new body without any strategic analyses and clear criteria.
They also said that before the adoption of a new privatisation law
and laws on the take-over of joint stock companies and a property
fund, the state audit should register state property, while the
fund's management should be appointed by the new government after
the November parliamentary elections.
