In response to reports that appeared in the media today, alleging that the Governor of the Croatian National Bank issued an order to Riječka banka not to provide information on loans taken out by the former director of Viktor Lenac Shipyard to the investigative committee of the Croatian Parliament (Sabor) - which simply do no correspond with facts - we present the full text of the opinion that the Croatian National Bank has issued to the relevant bank at its request.
We believe that the attached text makes it unequivocally clear that the CNB has not issued any order whatsoever that would in any way, shape or form hamper the work of the parliamentary investigative committee and that all statements to the contrary are unfounded insinuations aimed at discrediting the Croatian National Bank for reasons we are not aware of.
