Bacinovic said Lenac would not be able to avoid bankruptcy unless
the government or investors send the funds they promised as soon as
possible.
Creditor banks and the shipyard's owners have recently reached an
agreement on the financial consolidation of Viktor Lenac.
Investors will provide another EUR28.7 million, of which the
government will ensure EUR2.5 million.
The unions says the investors need up to three months to implement
the agreement and ensure the funds stressing that unless the money
arrives before that, the shipyard will go bankrupt.
