Regarding the article published in a daily paper of July 29, 2005, and the advertisement of the Serbian Federal Property Directory, published in the Vjesnik daily paper on Tuesday, July 26, 2005, announcing it would "sell the real estates owned by the Republic of Serbia located in the Republic of Croatia territory" and demanding for the written bids to be submitted, the Foreign Affairs and European Integration Ministry wishes to outline that, according to the Decree on the ban to dispose with and transfer the funds of specific legal persons on the territory of the Republic of Croatia, legal persons from Serbia and Montenegro had no right to dispose with the real estates located in the Republic of Croatia, for which they had the right of use (The Official Gazette of the Republic of Croatia, No. 29/94)
This decree does not apply to the real estates of the Republic of Slovenia and the Republic of Macedonia legal persons, because the Republic of Croatia has already signed Treaty on the settlement of property rights with the Republic of Slovenia and the Republic of Macedonia.
Property-rights relations issue concerning the legal persons' property that was publicly-owned and is located in the Republic of Croatia or Serbia and Montenegro territory will be settled according to the principles of the Annex G of the Agreement on Succession Issues, bilaterally between the Republic of Croatia and Serbia and Montenegro, by signing an equivalent agreement on the settlement of these relations, as announced in the Joint Statement issued by the Republic of Croatia Prime Minister Ivo Sanader and Serbia and Montenegro President Svetozar Marović, on November 15, 2004.
