Hard-up for cash, Croatia is putting the celebrated Brioni Islands in the Adriatic up for sale, according to London daily The Independent. Independent states that the asking price is EUR 2.5bn. Croatia to sell Brioni Islands? “In Croatia, national output is down five percent in a year, and foreign investment has collapsed by more than 40 percent,” the daily states. To help the state coffers, the islands are going to market along with the state insurance company, the railways and parts of the energy sector, according to Radio BBC. "When Tito governed the land with an iron fist, he loved to entertain world figures and celebrities in the idyllic setting, which, with its crystal blue waters and verdant interiors, is known as the Polynesia of the Adriatic,” Independent stated, adding that Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser, the Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, and the Ethiopian monarch Haile Selassie were guests there as well. “For their money, potential buyers would not only get 14 islands, but a national park with rare wildlife, and possession of Tito's snow-white cockatoo, Koki, which, aged 52, is still going strong,” the daily writes.
