Read EU article 88. <br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union_competition_law <br /><br />Here summery of some of the competition rules. Croatian Airlines had to pay back 597 million kuna in 2012, cause EU didn't see it as a loan when EU needed to borrow money from the Croatian state budget. Croatian Airlines almost bankrupted as a result. <br /><br />EU is quite strict with these things. Anyways, show me the link to minster's statement.

There is huge low about preventing of nonlegal money traffic and several thousands workers are working on that in EU to prevent this way of financing. <br /><br />Only institution that can make some kind of financing and subventions is Croatian tourist board, but it is not financed by tax payers money. It is financed by tourist fee, hotel membership fee, agencies fee, transport organization fee etc. Goal of Board is to promote Croatian tourism and to bring more tourists into Croatia. That is why all those organizations connected to tourism pay fee to it.<br /><br />But even in Croatian tourist Board they have to make tender, have defined rules of tender with same chance for subventions by all interested companies, and have supervision on those subventions.
