Forest management, managed by Croatian Forests Ltd takes place through 649 management units in 17 branches of the Hrvatske šume d.o.o. (Croatian Forests Ltd) Administration.
During the investigation of irregularities in the operations of Croatian Forests Ltd and proving excessive logging and criminal activities, the Green Squad processed Table of Accounting Control for 583 out of a total of 649 management units (90%).
Based on the obtained data, we came to the result that in 583 management units of Croatian Forests Ltd, during the past ten years of management, a total deficit of 16,738,899 m3 in growing stock worth €868,665,989was shown
(according to the average preferential price for the purchase of lumber under the contract with the Croatian Forests Ltd from 2018.).
