“Someone must have slandered Josef K., for one morning, without having done anything truly wrong, he was arrested.”

As director of the state owned company ’’23 OKTOBAR’’ from Temerin, I started working with Mr. Tom Đorđević through ’’”YUCO KATALOŠKA PRODAJA’’. In 1990 we agreed the construction of two warehouses with an annex for this company, for which we received 100% advance payment. Upon the completion of the business to our mutual satisfaction, we continued with the construction of another warehouse, and after that the production plant for sandpaper, vehicle service facility and garage, as well as a plateau for trucks and the inner road complex. All these jobs were negotiated with Mr. Đorđević, financial calculations were made with him and all obligations were met. Most of the jobs were even paid in advance.
After a short while, construction of new facilities started and we continued to work on the construction of these buildings for ’’YUCO HEMIJA’’. As activities expanded greatly, we agreed with Mr. Đorđević that the entire company, with about ninety employees, would work for ’’YUCO HEMIJA’’, and we made a special contract on business and technical cooperation for one year.
I can say that all the jobs we agreed and were contracted for were paid on time, the majority of them was paid in advance before the construction works started.
Throughout this cooperation Mr. Đorđević behaved in a very professional manner, but he also demanded the same from the other party.
The state owned company ’’23 OKTOBAR’’, a constructional operative with its 90 employees, managed to endure and operate with profit in those years of economic crisis ( 1990 – 1998) thanks to the contracts we had for ’’YUCO’’, and above all thanks to Mr. Tom Đorđević and his very decent behavior in all these relations. When it was difficult to find work, he even offered us a job in Russia, which we did not accept.
