Miletić again responded: Milanović and Hajdaš Dončić started shooting at the elites, Butković continues

Marin Miletić, a prominent local representative known for his outspoken stance on public issues, has once again drawn attention to a dispute involving the management of access to a beach near the Hilton Costabella hotel. In a recent social media post, Miletić accused politicians including Prime Minister Andrej Plenković, Minister Oleg Butković, and former president Ivan T. Milanović, along with Siniša Hajdaš Dončić, of favoring certain elites at the expense of the general public. He also criticized Butković for continuing this perceived bias. The controversy centers around the access to the beach area adjacent to the Hilton Costabella. Miletić stated that the current situation involves the placement of barriers such as chains and locks on the path leading to the beach, effectively restricting free passage. These actions have been taken despite claims that the existing agreement between the hotel and the previous government allows for open access. According to Miletić, the hotel's management, represented by JTH Costabella, has maintained that they are operating within the bounds of their contract and applicable laws. However, Miletić argues that the terms of the agreement clearly stipulate that access to the beach should remain free of charge. He emphasized that the hotel does not have the legal right to impose fees or erect physical obstacles preventing public access to the beach. Miletić further claimed that the political figures he mentioned are engaging in behavior that favors specific groups over the broader population. He suggested that these individuals are acting against the will of the people and disregarding the signed agreements. His comments were accompanied by criticism towards the hotel’s response, which he described as being overly focused on public relations rather than addressing genuine concerns about accessibility and fairness. In his statement, Miletić expressed strong opposition to the continued restriction of access, asserting that the public should not be intimidated by political connections or protection from influential parties. He called for greater awareness among citizens regarding their rights under the constitution, emphasizing that all power ultimately derives from the people and belongs to them. The issue has sparked discussions about the balance between private interests and public access, particularly in areas where tourism plays a significant role in the local economy. The debate highlights tensions between contractual obligations and the expectations of the community regarding shared resources. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how the authorities will address these concerns and whether changes will be made to ensure equitable access to public spaces.
