A hearing in the lawsuit which Abbazia d.o.o. lodged against the Catholic parish of Dajla and the Diocese of Porec and Pula as well as against the Republic of Croatia has been postponed from 19 September to 19 October at Abbazia's request, the Buje Municipal Court's spokeswoman Slavica Tomac-Ciric told reporters on Thursday.
The reason for the postponement of the 19 September hearing is the fact that Abbazia has another hearing at the same time.
Meanwhile, both the parish of Dajla and the Pula-headquartered Abbazia company contested an August 9 ruling of the Croatian Justice Ministry to annul decisions the Istria County office for property affairs made in the period from 1997 to 2002 under which the Dajla parish, as the legal successor in the church and civil areas of the Benedictine monastery in Dajla, was given back ownership of that real estate.
The ministry's ruling annulled all legal effects arising from the previous decisions in order to make it possible for the Republic of Croatia to be entered in land books as the owner of that real estate.
