Božo Petrov: We Know How We Would Solve Karamarko’s Case

Deputy Prime Minister Božo Petrov comments on the Karamarko case and other issues.

Deputy Prime Minister and MOST president Božo Petrov said on Monday that he was waiting for the opinion of the Commission for Conflict of Interest Prevention about the case of First Deputy Prime Minister and HDZ president Tomislav Karamarko, adding that “MOST knows how it would solve this case”, reports 24sata.hr on May 23, 2016.

“We will continue to call for responsible behaviour of all political stakeholders, especially those who make important decisions for Croatia. We have clearly said that we are waiting for the opinion of the Commission, and it is also possible that an inquiry committee will be established”, said Petrov.

Asked whether State Attorney Dinko Cvitan should be dismissed, Petrov said that at the moment he did not see any reason for that. “I have not seen any substantial arguments why we should vote against Mr. Cvitan’s report. I expect that, if there is such an opinion, it will be explained well,” he said.

Petrov did not want to say whether Ombudswoman Lora Vidović should be dismissed, after her report was rejected in Parliament, with MOST’s MPs splitting during the vote. “We have given freedom to our MPs to vote according to their own discretion, so they should be asked why they voted like they did”, he said.

Asked about the beginning of talks between INA and MOL, Petrov said that Prime Minister Tihomir Orešković was leading the working group, adding that they should be left to talk with MOL in peace in order to be able to conduct talks in a way which will benefit Croatia.

Finally, talking about the continuation of negotiations with trade unions of public and government services, Petrov announced that he would very soon, probably as early as this or next week, contact representatives of the unions to see whether there was a way to help people who are employed in the public and state sector. “We want to be fair, but we know how limited we are. We would be happy if we could offer them absolutely everything, but it is clear there is little room, given the financial situation in the country”, concluded Petrov.
