The union of workers from Dina Petrokemija in Omišalj on Krk today addressed an open letter to the Government and relevant ministries calling for the acceleration of processes related to resolving the fate of this company, emphasizing that the workers can no longer endure such a situation.
Union representative Predrag Mihaljević stated in the letter that he has repeatedly called for the acceleration of the process but has not received a response.
He said that the workers received a response from the investor in Dina Petrokemija, namely the new owner of the company, Caliskan from Turkey, stating that they are not obliged to pay the workers for preparing the plant for the start of production, but that this is a contractual obligation of the Government.
Mihaljević notes that he does not know whether the investor or the Government of the Republic of Croatia is more responsible. However, he emphasized that the investor is certainly responsible as they took over the Management even before the formal ownership restructuring and then delayed the request for pre-bankruptcy settlement until November 30.
The Government is responsible, the open letter continues, as it has not succeeded in fulfilling the obligations assumed by contract and enabling the conditions for the renewal of production and the payment of overdue wages. Due to the inability to implement some provisions of the pre-bankruptcy settlement law, the company’s business account is still blocked, it is emphasized. HEP, although designated by the Government’s decision as a strategic partner, is indefinitely sabotaging the restructuring process by devaluing land and failing to supply electricity, the letter states.
