ZAGREB CITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT ASKS PREMIER TO RESOLVE CITY CRISIS

ZAGREB, June 4 (Hina) - President of the Zagreb City Council Zdravko Tomac on Tuesday forwarded an open letter to the Croatian Prime Minister Zlatko Matesa asking him to take immediate measures for resolving the Zagreb crisis. Tomac told a news conference in Zagreb on Tuesday that he held Matesa and the Croatian government fully responsible for the authority crisis in Zagreb. The present "illegal and unconstitutional situation is the result of not executing electoral results regarding the organization of executive authority in Zagreb and the Zagreb County," Tomac said. The government should dismiss the present city mayor because the City Council had given her a vote of no confidence, after which a new mayor should be nominated, Tomac said. Until that happened, Zagreb and the Zagreb County did not have a legal prefect and City administration but a group of people posing as such. (hina) lm jn 041549 MET jun 96
