"A prime minister cannot order police to unblock a company, only the
rule-of-law can to that," Racan said during talks with the Croatia
Bus union which backs the company's management.
Racan called on the Union of Professional Drivers and Car Mechanics
to reach an agreement with competition's unions regarding the
unblocking of the company, and to be patient until the law-based
state completes its task in the next several days.
He relayed the same message to members of the New Union and the Union
of Maritime Affairs and Communications, which blocked the entrance
into the company more than a month ago, requesting the sanctioning
of the company's former director, Leon Sulic, for alleged
embezzlement.
"If institutions do not act immediately, another 350 people will be
in the Employment Bureau," unionist Marica Japundzic responded to
Racan.
Chief State Prosecutor Mladen Bajic who attended the meeting, said
that a number of cases of abuse of office and illegal business had
been established in Croatia Bus.
He called on unions to help the State Prosecution gather
information important for the continuation of the investigation.
