Maric noted that Croatia is currently running two tenders to sell 45 properties owned by the state, with the deadline set for March 27.
These include 33 apartments in Zagreb, worth a combined 11.7 million kuna, and 12 real estate properties across the country valued at a minimum 42.9 million kuna.
Earlier this year, Croatia's government took 11 firms off the list of companies which are not for sale because of their strategic importance for the country and added two.
The list now contains 40 companies of strategic and special interest, down from 49 previously. Among the ones take off the list are industrial holding group Djuro Djakovic, Mali Losinj airport, and motorway operator Autocesta Zagreb-Macelj.
