Courier Report FER-1476 DISPATCHED: 30/03/09 DELIVERED: 15/05/09 Jelena Stanovnik Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2009 18:40:40 +0100 From: Jelena Stanovnik To: kate rich Subject: Re: ratluk check. Hello hello, sorry it's taking ages to reply. My sister's PC decided to give up this weekend and I spent whole day yesterday travelling. Our kind of ratluk and especially the walnut flavour was a nightmare to find. I polished off the supplies of all major Podgorica supermarkets and managed to scrounge nine half kilo packs and three one kilos. Mirko never replied to my email and I didn't manage to get hold of him on the phone. I also asked around in the supermarkets and they said that they haven't had deliveries from them for a while. I'm wondering if they reduced - or totally stopped - the production. Economically Montenegro is in the shit and Mirko's company possibly may be suffering. There are rumours that the only reason why the country wasn't already declared bankrupt was due to the elections that happened this Sunday.
