She said the party believes "the fund is not functioning, problems
are generating and privatisation is on hold".
Problems in privatisation and the work of the Croatian
Privatisation Fund (HFP) have been criticised lately and the party
president Zlatko Tomcic on Saturday requested resignations from
the HFP leadership and a thorough reorganisation of the fund.
HFP deputy president Kresimir Starcevic told a news conference
Monday he did not plan to resign and stressed the HFP did its share
of the job regarding the new law.
The HFP has prepared a draft privatisation act as well as a bill on
the Croatian Property Fund and has forwarded them to the Economy
Ministry which should send it into further procedure, Starcevic
said.
Commenting on criticism that the HFP is not implementing decision
by its Management Board, Starcevic said decision on some
privatisation processes had to be adopted by the government.
