CEZAP lawyer Dragomir Ćalasan announced that the Central Bank obstructed the activities of that NGO during the entire process of passing the Law on the Conversion of Credit from Swiss Francs to Euros, stating incorrect data.
"As far as their professional views are concerned, they were best seen in the Assembly. Only one piece of information clearly speaks of their expertise. All the time they claim that this law does not apply to the Heta Asset Resolution, which was denied by the Supreme Court with a legal position," said Ćalasan on behalf of CEZAP.
As he added, the number of transferred claims is incorrect because they mention 129 in their statement (there were three times more), so some 15 credits are intentionally apostrophized, which does not correspond to the factual situation.
"Let them ask Heta for accurate data and they will see who is deceiving the public, us or them," said Ćalasan in response to the CBCG Council's statement from Wednesday. The Council of the CBCG announced that everything that was said at the session of the Assembly last week when talking about the role of the CBCG in the promotion of loans in Swiss francs, as a harmful product, is untrue.
"So, everyone is lying, only the CBCG Council is telling the truth. So then we at CEZAP wonder what kind of mental scope the people behind these claims have, that is, how thick should the face be when claims are presented to the public that they did not do what they did, that they did not during the entire process of placing this harmful products until now have been biased and defended the interests of Hypo Alpe Adria bank", said Ćalasan.
He reminds that in the "News" of December 4, 2006, regarding these loans, it was stated: "The CBCG says that from the point of view of CBCG control, this is a desirable approach, because this type of financing is just another product of commercial banks, which is very often used in EU countries".
"It goes on to state that 'from the Department for Bank Control of the Central Bank of Serbia, 'Vijesti' is honest that with the further development of the Montenegrin banking sector, there will be as many of these and similar products as possible... from the point of view of risk management, the HAAB product designed in this way minimizes currency risk, because the bank uses sources in Swiss francs'. If they are still in a dilemma about their role in this business, we can deliver to the 'esteemed' members of the Council a recorded statement of their flagship - the Deputy Governor of the CBCG that these loans are a desirable banking product", said Ćalasan.
He added that they have all the written evidence about how the CBCG behaved in CEZAP in the later period, but due to space, I cannot elaborate on their views.
"Finally, the Council claims that it is incorrect that HAAB assigned its claims to Heta without compensation because allegedly she has already collected 54.103.000 of the assigned €66.698.000. It's as if they didn't even read the contract on the transfer of receivables for a fee, nor do they know the basic principles of assignment business," said Ćalasan.
As he adds, immediately after assigning the claim, Heta had to pay the agreed fee to the bank within 8 days, which she did not do, and the CBCG does not control it.
"Therefore, our claim is correct that the claim was transferred without compensation, and payment may be made if the real estate is sold, or not if one of our clients does not take his own life," Ćalasan warned.
Commenting on the presentation of DPS deputies Milutin Simović and Zoran Jelic in the Assembly, Ćalasan said that one should believe in the institutions of the system.
"But those institutions are made up of people, and the dignity of the institution depends on their proper and honest work. However, here we have unprofessional, superficial, problematic and completely biased and dubious work, so we can only doubt everything that comes from the person who, with this announcement, assures us of their constructive and professional work", concluded Ćalasan.
Medojević: DPS corrected the amendments, the changes pass
DF MP Nebojša Medojević told "Vijesti" that the DPS submitted the corrected amendments to the procedure on Friday. Medojević said that with those amendments two of his key demands were accepted: that the clients' debt should not be charged late interest and that Heta could not perform banking operations. He announced that today he will have a meeting with client representatives to analyze these amendments, but it is obvious that DPS has assessed that they have immeasurable political damages from continuing the discussion with DF on this topic and that they have decided to accept his proposals. Medojević reminds that he made such an offer on Thursday before the discussion in the Assembly, and they rejected it. "If the clients don't have any serious objections, and I don't expect any, we could vote on this today. The DPS would thus accept the two key demands of the DF, and I would accept the DPS amendment on milder misdemeanor sanctions", said Medojević and added that this is a great victory for the DF and its clients against HAAB, Het and CBCG.
Last week, the Parliament discussed the amendments to the Law on Conversion submitted by Medojević. The session was interrupted on Thursday and postponed until today after it was determined that the DPS read amendments that were not tabled in the Assembly.
