The IPO has attracted very strong investor interest as every thirteenth Croatian citizen had bought shares in T-HT in the IPO.
Some market participants have said they expected technical glitches because there are only 177 licensed stock brokers in Croatia and because individuals who had subscribed T-HT shares have no experience in share trading.
