Responding to claims by the Croatian Journalists’ Association (HND), the Ministry also “strongly rejected putting the whole case and actions by health employees into the context of political games by some political parties, which have been heard lately.”
Earlier today, HND demanded the dismissal of Health Minister Vili Beroš, judging his behaviour as scandalous and shameful, as well as the work and results of a commission that investigated the circumstances surrounding Matijanić’s death.
The Ministry said that it performed its duties according to the competencies prescribed by law and that it had provided the public with important facts related to the case, presenting the findings and opinions of the expert commission in an appropriate manner.
It recalled that a complete report on Matijanić’s death was presented at a press conference at which the media had an opportunity to directly question all members of the expert commission and staff involved in treating Matijanić.
