All contracts and documents necessary for the Turkish company Caliskan to enter the Adriaoil company within the Croatian petrochemical group Dioki will be signed on Tuesday or on Wednesday, which would activate on Wednesday a bank guarantee and the payment of back salaries to the workers of Dioki and its company Dina, Dioki representatives said on Tuesday after a meeting between representatives of the union and workers with Dioki's management.
Shop steward Josip Pavelic told the media they were informed by Dioki director Leo Dolezil that all purchase and sale documents had been agreed and would be signed by Dioki and Caliskan representatives today or tomorrow.
This means that a bank guarantee will be issued tomorrow and an account will be opened in which Caliskan will pay a EUR 5 million advance for the payment of the back salaries.
Asked how many back salaries would be paid, Pavelic said their position was that the same number of salaries should be paid to the workers of Dioki and Dina.
He said five documents would be signed, including a preliminary agreement on the purchase and sale of Adria Oil necessary for the payment of the EUR 5 million advance.
Pavelic said all documents had to be signed by November and that production at Dina should recommence by October.
He recalled that the workers received the last salaries, for January and February, in April.
Unionist Predrag Mihaljevic told the press that all back salaries could be paid if the Finance Ministry approved a delay in the payment of benefits, otherwise the salaries through April.
