The land was never paid in money, but with some kind of debt offset, which was a well-practiced matrix of the former regime. There were not many brave and persistent people to make similar claims regarding this and similar dubious affairs that were the rule at the time, not the exception. This and such construction and investment galiamitas even caused the bursting of the main road, Mediteranska Street, which seriously threatened the safety of our fellow citizens and citizens," Kažanegra pointed out.

According to the criminal report submitted by Dragan Krapović, the Special State Prosecutor's Office (SDT) did not act, it was dismissed as unfounded , which is not surprising considering the circumstances led by Milivoje Katnić, now a detained former SDT suspected of the most serious crimes. I am not happy about the fact that my colleague Dragan Krapović was right, acting conscientiously and responsibly in relation to this so-called investment, because his actions then imply and point to the long silence of all the systems, which have closed their eyes remained silent on this business arrangement which greatly damaged the budget of our state and others who were unable to exercise their rights", said Kažanegra Stanišić.
