The deadline for expressions on interest in the hotel operators is November 13.
"Interested investors are invited to submit letters of intent to purchase shares in the joint-stock companies. Letters of intent shall be submitted for each company individually", CERP noted.
Once letters of intent have been received, CERP will determine the initial price and invite binding bids from those investors who have submitted their expressions of interest.
Croatia has unsuccessfully tried to sell the two hotel operators in the past.
