"The management of the company did not take a concrete decision at its meeting, therefore once such a decision is adopted, the investment public will be informed in line with the law," the statement said.
It gave no further details.
Luka Rijeka's current capital of 539 million kuna ($81 million/72 million euro) is divided into some 13.48 million shares of 40 kuna in par value each.
