ZAGREB, June 21, 2020 – Minister of the Interior Davor Bozinovic, who heads the national COVID-19 response team, has said that currently there are no plans to introduce additional compulsory measures in the fight against the novel coronavirus and there are also no indications that parliamentary elections could be postponed.
Speaking in an interview with the RTL broadcaster on Saturday evening, Bozinovic called on everyone to invest additional effort and do what was necessary to prevent the spreading of the disease.
“The measures that are being adopted depend on the current situation, and we do not believe that more restrictive measures are necessary because our epidemiologists have traced all the contacts of the newly infected persons,” Bozinovic said.
He added that it had been determined that those were Croatian nationals who had travelled mostly to neighbouring countries like Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia, and had passed on the infection upon return, mostly to their family members.
Asked if the new circumstances could result in the July 5 parliamentary elections being postponed, he said that for the time being there were no indications whatsoever that the situation could escalate to such a degree that elections would have to be postponed.
