"If someone has made an issue out of Croatia's privatisation, it is
Deputy Prime Minister Slavko Linic," Tomcic told the press when
asked to comment on Linic's claim that HSS politicians would do
better to make decisions than comment on privatisation.
According to Tomcic, privatisation is taking place in abnormal
circumstances because it is run in part by incompetent clerks with
the sometime assistance of some cabinet members.
Asked about the possibility of Rijeka's Viktor Lenac shipyard going
bankrupt, Tomcic said that if it did file for bankruptcy, the
question would have to be raised of who was responsible for "having
mercilessly pumped the company with considerable amounts of money
under very favourable conditions".
He also said the question of whether the state did have a vision of
what to do with the shipbuilding industry would also have to be
raised.
Tomcic said he would raise the issue of political liability for some
failed instances of privatisation of agribusinesses.
