She also said that everyone working in the city administration had passed a public call for applications. “It’s a procedure that lasts six months in which diplomas and other documents are verified, and it’s a procedure the new mayor will have to respect, too.”
Earlier today, Pavičić Vukičević transferred executive powers to the new mayor, Tomislav Tomašević, handing over extensive reports, including on the execution of the 2020 budget.
She said today’s talk with Tomašević was “friendly” and that the new mayor would be acquainted with all of the city’s operations.
