And while our markets, restaurants and hotels are increasingly stocked with Croatian, Serbian and Macedonian wines, our company "Plantaže" is facing criticism that it is losing markets, firing old staff and increasing costs, and that it has become a party prey of the former Democratic Front. Critics reproach them for covering the company's operations from land sales and add that it will continue to be a "bottomless pit" until professional management is installed. "Plantaže", however, counters 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.
Radar's guest is someone who has been involved with grapes and wine all his life, Professor Miodrag Grbić from the University of Western Ontario in Canada, who is also a visiting professor at the University of La Rioja in Spain.
