ZAGREB, November 22, 2019 – Presidential hopeful Miroslav Škoro said on Friday during a signature collection campaign to run in the presidential election that he would not lead a dirty campaign and that perhaps a winner may emerge in the first round already and there won’t be a need for the second round.
“Who says that there will be a second round? Perhaps someone wins in the first round,” said Škoro when asked whether he expected to make it to the second round of the election.
I won’t be leading a dirty campaign, he underscored. “I didn’t start it. I didn’t engage in it and I won’t lead it. That is beneath my dignity and I am sorry for people who behave like that,” he added.
Asked whether he was bothered that people usually think of him as a singer only, he said that he was proud to be a Croatian singer. “I’m proud that I’m a Croatian singer, and belong to the artistic circle of musicians. Truly anyone can be a politician but not everyone can be a singer,” he said.
Škoro reiterated his proposal that the chief state prosecutor be elected at an election and not appointed. “We are among those who are last in Europe for a lot of things. It would be good to be the first in something. I don’t see why the chief state prosecutor can’t be elected at an election just like the president is elected,” he said.
He touched on the policy toward Bosnia and Herzegovina saying that if he is elected it would be very simply. “For a start, I would appoint a special adviser for Bosnia and Herzegovina because that is in Croatia’s vital interest but also that is a country where the Croatian people should be a sovereign nation and currently it isn’t because Komšić is not the legitimately elected representative in the presidency.”
As far as Serbia’s EU accession negotiations are concerned, Škoro said that Croatia had had to meet very high standards to join the European Union and that he expected the same of Serbia.
