ZAGREB, May 7, 2019 – The Conflict of Interest Commission will check Agriculture Minister Tomislav Tolušić’s declaration of assets and look into media reports about a company that built a house for him, the Commission’s spokeswoman Martina Jurišić told Hina.
According to media reports, the minister had his house built by a company that collaborated with the Virovitica-Podravina County administration while he served as county prefect.
Tolušić stated in his declaration of assets that his house in Virovitica measured 165 square metres, while according to data from the State Geodetic Administration, the property measures 330 square metres in surface area, the Telegram news website said, adding that on this plot there is one more house, measuring 121 square metres, which is not mentioned in the declaration of assets.
Tolušić told reporters outside government headquarters this morning that he thought he had done everything according to law, and if the Commission thought otherwise, he would be glad to rectify it.
He said that the space he lives in measures 153 square metres and denied that there are two houses on his property. “No, there is only one house. You can come and see for yourselves.”
