Feral Tribune director says weekly's account not frozen

Autor: ;vmic;
SPLIT, June 14 (Hina) - Following a statement issued by the Ministry of Finance, the director of the Split-based Feral Tribune weekly, Zoran Erceg, said that it was true that their account was not frozen, explaining that it had been frozen for 50 days because of Feral's failure to pay a debt of 500,000 kuna for Value Added Tax.
SPLIT, June 14 (Hina) - Following a statement issued by the Ministry of Finance, the director of the Split-based Feral Tribune weekly, Zoran Erceg, said that it was true that their account was not frozen, explaining that it had been frozen for 50 days because of Feral's failure to pay a debt of 500,000 kuna for Value Added Tax.

The account was unfrozen three weeks ago when the debt was paid, but was frozen again over the payment of 50,000 kuna in court damages to General Slavko Baric and 30,000 kuna to former Croatian Television editor in chief Jasna Ulaga, Erceg told Hina in an interview.

Feral issued a statement on Thursday saying that the recent freeze of their account "has financially destroyed the company, so that the journalists have not received their salaries for months."

Erceg said that Feral was again facing an account freeze because eight days ago it had received an order to pay another two million kuna in VAT debt.

Feral has asked the Finance Ministry for a delay of payment, but has not yet received a response.

"We're expecting a positive response, and regardless of all the fuss, we would pay part of the debt and the rest within a given period of time, although that would not be cheap because of penalty interest," Eerceg said.

"But we don't have money, so the next issue cannot be published," Erceg said.

Earlier in the day, Istrian Democratic Party members of Parliament Damir Kajin and Valter Poropat called on the government to postpone Feral's debt payment as it had done in the past for shipyards, soccer clubs, Hrvatsko Slovo weekly and the national broadcaster HRT.
