After NK Lokomotiva replied to HNK Hajduk request that this club should lose competition licence for series of regulation breaches, Hajduk decided to publish all documents sent to Croatian Football Association, its Licencing Board and Executive Board. Also, documents were forwarded to international football bodies like ECA, UEFA and FIFA.

In a letter sent to CFA, Hajduk requests that NK Lokomotiva should be un-licenced for playing in MAXtv First League. Main reason is that it's against all CFA and UEFA regulations that clubs closely connected play in the same level of competition. Hajduk claims thaz GNK Dinamo has business and organizational control over NK Lokomotiva, so the latter should not be granted a licence to play in Croatian first division.

All the explanations are in following documents, available for downloading:

Attachment 1: Inter-connection of clubs in football and business activities in the last five years.

Attachment 2:  Data from Neuchatel University, Switzerland prove that NK Lokomotiva hasn't hot a single locally trained player, and has more than 10 GNK Dinamo players which shows dependability of NK Lokomotiva

Attachment 3:  According to results in Croatian first division, NK Lokomotiva is a club with the least points won in matches against GNK Dinamo

Attachment 4: According to media coverage since 2009, 57 players in total were transferred from GNK Dinamo to NK Lokomotiva, 10 players from NK Lokomotiva to GNK Dinamo, and in the ongoing season no less than 13 GNK Dinamo players were sent on loan to NK Lokomotiva, which is another strong evidence of the stron connections between those two clubs.

Attachment 5: In the official European Club Association report, NK Lokomotiva was listed as a "farm team'' or the second team of GNK Dinamo. Related parts of this report are available on following links 12345

Attachment 6: Ruling by the Croatian Ministry of science, education and sports and its sport inspection service, by which NK Lokomotiva license for the season 2009/2010 was denied, due to a connections with GNK Dinamo.

"Result of all listed facts is that we have two extensively connected legal subjects in the same level of competition, one of which is completely dependent on other. Thus, regular competition as promoted by FIFA and UEFA fair play policy is made impossible," says a statement issued by HNK Hajduk, and signed by the Hajduk chairman Marin Brbić and sports manager Goran Vučević.
