She added the mayor was expected to be from the SDP, the deputy mayor from the DC and the second deputy mayor from the HNS. The chairman of the City Council is expected to be from the DC and the deputies from the SDP and the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ).
Asked if she had been offered the position of mayoress, Skare-Ozbolt said the DC had insisted on platforms and not posts and that the party had clearly said it did not want political bargaining.
