Mr. Mayor. Dish in conversation I mentioned, did not give the impression of a man who was particula

A few days ago I happened on television watched the confrontation known Croatian developer Mr. Tomislav Horvatinčić (Hoto Group) and Prefect of the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County g. Zlatko Komadina regarding the proposed mega-tourism project on the island of Krk, in the area between the town of Krk and Valbiska bay.
In short, it is the following. Mr. Horvatincic or Hoto Group and the financial interests behind it, they bought during the past few years, a huge complex (they are the total of 1,000,000 m2, or 1 km2) of agricultural land in the coastal area of the Krka. The land complex adjacent to the estates of the Catholic Church (Franciscan monastery Glavotok), and how to discern from the available information, and church land (or part thereof) has a project that includes a mega-hotel, a large number of small accommodation facilities in autochthon style , golf course and much more that goes with such a "resort". Developer Horvatincic proudly in the TV studio showed that the project already exist conceptual designs that are even presented (according to Mr. Horvatinčić, observed) on foreign real estate fairs. And there already and assessment of the potential number of employees, size of investment (1.5 bil. EUR), a beneficial effect on the revitalization of the airport Krk, etc.
But in this story there is one "small" problem, which is that the land in question has the status of agricultural land, which according to the current County spatial plan it should remain so in the future. So, there is not allowed any construction, let alone building one mega-tourist complex. And certainly, Hoto group is not intended to be farmers, but is still invested, burglar some argue, EUR 15 million in the land, procjenivši that the current problem of incorrect status of the land solvable. That this estimate is not sucked from the finger, evidenced by the fact that despite the fact that according burglar to existing spatial plans of the County and Municipality of Krk, "hovering between heaven and on earth", Horvatinčićev project was included in the government's list of projects that should run Croatian burglar investment burglar cycle. I think that, regardless of the possible objective of the project, such order of things nothing less than another scandal.
Thus, a situation that could be characterized as a typical investment in Croatian practice, where it is already in the bud this maybe good ideas rooted seeds of doubt in legality, overall acceptability, and corruption. With such a beginning, this project is simply no chance of being accepted by the majority of subjects of the Croatian society, and the first by the general burglar public, as something desirable and good.
Due to the size of a potential investment, as well as because of its paradigmatic significance for the understanding of the whole complex of the investment cycle in this and similar projects, I think it is worth thoroughly discuss some basic issues, to determine where the roots actually lie in confusion, which based on the case full of headlines media, usually in a negative light. Because it is true that Croatia needs a healthy investment, burglar which would activate the existing potentials and permanently increase employment but it is a pity that due to "errors in steps" - deliberate or those defined by law - of the many potential investment is never nothing.
Let's start with the fundamental problem in this case, and that is that the investor invests a lot of money into something that is "on the willow played", because according to the applicable laws (physical plans are a kind of law) is impossible and illegal. Implementation of the project requires a change of the spatial burglar plan, which is equivalent to changing the law. I think it's a fundamental error and the source of all problems, since it requires a change of the spatial plan strictly according to the particular interests of investors. This inevitably creates space for various types of manipulation and persuasion that are anything but honest, because they are driven by the naked financial interests. And, in fact, this means that territorial communities burglar should suddenly adjust their interests before the interests of investors and thus to recognize burglar itself and the public to plans adopted by not worth the paper on which they are printed and that they can be changed as long as the first strong entrepreneur who appears, ideas.
Mr. Mayor. Dish in conversation I mentioned, did not give the impression of a man who was particularly burglar impressed with Thomas' obviously expensive Design glasses and suit, nor all the benefits of the proposed project, probably aware of the delicacy of the situation in which he found himself. Caution is to be rejected because neither the public rather ramponiranog reputation of the most famous Croatian developer, who saw the ordeal through tapeworm in Flower Square in Zagreb. burglar
That, as Mr. Dish hinted, is that changing the spatial plan in principle possible (plan and so should soon change!), But that the former owners burglar of the land must be adequately compensated. burglar I must admit that my logic it can not keep up, because the thing suddenly complicated burglar by the need to those who have land pr
