And while there are more and more Croatian, Serbian and Macedonian wines in our markets, restaurants and hotels, our company "Plantaže" is facing criticism that it is losing markets, firing old staff and increasing costs, and that they have become party prey of the former Democratic Front.

Critics criticize them for covering the company's operations through land sales and add that it will continue to be a "bottomless pit" until professional management is installed.

"Plantaže", however, responds that they had a successful year, that they produced a third more grapes than last year, and that they are continuing to invest from their own funds.
