SPLIT, June 12 (Hina) - The trustee of the Split-based 'Diokom' company, whose majority owner is the state, failed to take over his duty on Monday because he was prevented from entering the company building. The Split Commercial Court
on June 9 appointed Ranko Despot trustee for 'Diokom', which employs some 2,360 persons. "They would not let me in the building. I will not insist on entering and will certainly not enter it forcefully," Despot told Hina, adding he did not want to "speculate about who did not let me in and who is behind all this." "I am obviously not a trustee now," he said. After Despot was appointed trustee, unions expressed concern that the promised bankruptcy proceedings and reorganisation would not be implemented because a temporary member of Diokom's management board, Ivo Buric, who advocated reorganisation and participated in the discontinuation of the recent strike, was not appointed trustee.

SPLIT, June 12 (Hina) - The trustee of the Split-based 'Diokom'
company, whose majority owner is the state, failed to take over his
duty on Monday because he was prevented from entering the company
building.
The Split Commercial Court on June 9 appointed Ranko Despot trustee
for 'Diokom', which employs some 2,360 persons.
"They would not let me in the building. I will not insist on entering
and will certainly not enter it forcefully," Despot told Hina,
adding he did not want to "speculate about who did not let me in and
who is behind all this." "I am obviously not a trustee now," he
said.
After Despot was appointed trustee, unions expressed concern that
the promised bankruptcy proceedings and reorganisation would not
be implemented because a temporary member of Diokom's management
board, Ivo Buric, who advocated reorganisation and participated in
the discontinuation of the recent strike, was not appointed
trustee.
'Diokom' unions today once again called on Prime Minister Ivica
Racan and Deputy Prime Minister Slavko Linic to confirm the
decision on bankruptcy proceedings and reorganisation and asked to
be given a month so that a programme of implementation of that
decision could be drawn up.
Despot today said he did not "have anything against Buric's
appointment as trustee," but warned the Law on Bankruptcy forbade
members of the management boards of companies undergoing
bankruptcy proceedings to be appointed trustees.
