ZAGREB, Sept 30 (Hina) - On occasion of the publishing of an article in the latest issue of the "Feral Tribune" weekly in which the awarding of a contract for the construction of the "Istrian Epsilon" to the French construction
company "Bouygues" was connected to an alleged Hrvoje Sarinic's commission, Sarinic on Tuesday dismissed such statements most resolutely as libel in a statement for Hina. He announced he would seek legal protection.

The Feral Tribune weekly in a lengthy article entitled
"Sarinic's Y Files", citing assessments of an unnamed expert, who
looked over the contract, as well as information from the annex of
the contract, claimed that it was economically and financially
unfavourable business for Croatia, so the awarding of the contract
was "…connected to the commission Hrvoje Sarinic received".
"I am appalled with the content of the text published by Feral
Tribune under the headline 'Sarinic's Y Flies' where my name and the
high state function which I perform is being defiled in the worst
possible way.
Taking into consideration the gravity of the libel, as well as
the function I perform, I have decided to seek legal protection to
protect my person from such crude attacks," Hrvoje Sarinic said.
