near the central Adriatic town of Zadar, on Monday discontinued the
food supply to 270 displaced persons accommodated in the hotel.
Director of the hotel Biserko Visic said he was implementing a
decision of the management committee, which decided to discontinue
the food supply to the displaced persons because the state failed to
fulfil its obligations towards them for over a year.
Several months ago, the "Pinija" hotel was purchased by the
"Intermod" company for DM1.7 million paid in cash to the account of
the "Velebit" privatisation fund.
According to owner of "Intermod" and Hotel "Pinija" Ante Kovacevic,
during the purchase he was told that the displaced persons would be
accommodated in other objects.
"Because of this, I have already invested several million German
marks in the reconstruction of the hotel, and arranged several
visits of foreign guests. I cannot finish the reconstruction nor
conduct business because the displaced persons have not yet been
accommodated elsewhere. All requests forwarded to the Government
to solve this issue remained unanswered. So, I am forced to make
this move.", Kovacevic said.
The displaced persons were not addressed by authorised persons on
Monday, and they ate at their own expense.
