Kotromanovic will on Thursday conduct an inspection of the
tournament preparations.
The tournament begins on August 2 and the central event at the 287th
Sinj Alka Tournament will be on Sunday, August 4.
This was reported on Wednesday by the president of the Society of
Alka Knights (VAD), Mate Jukic. He also announced a press
conference for July 13 when the board of directors of that Society
will make a statement in relation to Tuesday's talks with Croatian
President Stjepan Mesic. Mesic rejected a request by the Alka
society that he once again this year be the sponsor of the
tournament.
Mirko Norac is currently in jail in Rijeka while being tried for war
crimes. He could not attend last year's tournament for the same
reason.
