ZAGREB, March 6, 2019 – Economy Minister Darko Horvat said on Wednesday that financial data about the Uljanik shipyard’s performance did not look well, and they were actually worse than what was put on paper before.
Asked by the press whether he was going to meet with unionists from Uljanik, the minister said that a meeting was planned and that before a meeting with all stakeholders including unionists, the management and strategic partner Tomislav Debeljak could be held an analysis needs to be prepared.
“The stats do not look well. They (problems) are bigger than what has been put on paper so far,” Horvat said.
“We have to know what the sins of the past were and what the current state of affairs is, so that I can freely ask Mr Debeljak to undertake any action concerning the continuation of the shipbuilding business,” he said.
Debeljak is being asked to provide assurances that the ships that are near completion, will be completed, so that guarantees in the amount of 1.8 billion kuna offered by the government are not enforced.
