ZAGREB, Aug 6 (Hina) - A spokesman for the Tobacco Factory Rovinj
(TDR) on Monday said this company carried out the strict procedure
for the export of its products and he did not know how TDR cigarettes
might be returned from abroad in Croatia.
The spokesman, Predrag Grubic, gave this statement following last
night's confiscation of 14,500 cartons of cigarettes, which
smugglers tried to transfer from Yugoslavia into Croatia. Croatian
customs officers at the border crossing of Bajakovo prevented
smugglers from trafficking 14,500 cartons of cigarettes, including
TDR cigarettes such as "Ronhill", "Ronhill Light" and "Walter Wolf"
which had the export stamps of Croatia's Finance Ministry. Besides,
the smuggled goods included cigarettes "Memphis", "Lucky Strike",
"Milde Sorte" and "HB" with no stamp.
Grubic told Hina that the TDR was cooperating with relevant state
institutions to help prevent the cigarette smuggling as it affected
the TDR, tobacco farmers, merchants and consumers.
In addition, this company is taking measures on its own to prevent
the illegal sale of cigarettes, the TDR spokesman said.
