The lawyers of the Kalić family from Rožaj sued the state for damage to property worth EUR 28.000.000, which was managed by the Property Administration during the five-year court proceedings.
Kalić's representatives filed several lawsuits - due to the reduction of property value, property damage and lost profits.

Marković told "Vijesta" at the time that in the request sent to four addresses - Prime Minister Duško Marković, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Justice and the Protector of Legal-Property Relations, they did not specify how much property the Rožaj family believed had been destroyed during the management of the state.
"We didn't write any amount, because first we want to get an answer whether they want us to talk about specifying the damage at all", explained Marković earlier.
Lawyer Marković said yesterday that there are several proceedings against the state - one for damages due to the unjustified deprivation of liberty of Kalić, and the others for property.

For the entire duration of the procedure, legal entities could not to work, nor could the hotels that operate as part of those legal entities," said Marković.
