BADEL PROTESTERS DEMAND APPOINTMENT OF NEW MAIN DIRECTOR

ZAGREB, Jan 10 (Hina) - The Coordination for the defence of Badel 1862, whose members occupied the Badel Board building in Zagreb in early hours Monday, and prevented main director Mario Sherr from entering the building, demanded that Badel supervising committee urgently appoints Dario Covic the new Badel 1862 main director. Covic is currently the director of foreign trade. On behalf of the Coordination, Ante Perkovic said that persons participating in the protest will not leave the Board building, nor start the production until current director Sherr and president of the Supervising Committee Marko Sapunar resign to their duties. Small stock holders demand that extraordinary session of the assembly at which the new supervising committee and its members would be appointed, be called urgently. In case the extraordinary session is not called within three days, small stock-holders themselves will call it, Perkovic said. Sherr harshly condemned the occupation of the Badel building, claiming that Perkovic is behind this action. Sherr claims that Perkovic is trying to illegally get Badel stocks for himself and persons of like mind. (hina) it mm
