Croatian first division outfit Hajduk Split has become the first in the Balkans country to be listed on the stock exchange to resolve a financial crisis, a club statement revealed Tuesday.
Some 6300 shareholders, including over 30 companies, bought shares in the club worth 11.3 million euros (14.9 million dollars), the statement said.
"To all of us who invested money in Hajduk it is important that the club soon becomes a successful enterprise," one of the shareholders, Jako Andabak, told local media.
