Mayor says didn't break law with two Zagreb city projects

Autor: half
ZAGREB, July 1 (Hina) - Zagreb Mayor Milan Bandic said on Sunday he abided by the law in the renovation of Cvjetni Trg square and the construction of fountains outside the National and University Library, but would not comment on the findings of a Finance Ministry inspection team that he spent without authorisation nearly HRK 25 million from the city budget for those two projects.

Speaking on a Croatian Television talk show, Bandic said he would comment on the findings in 15 days and that the judiciary would establish if something was done in accordance with the law or not.

Bandic said those projects were necessary to Zagreb and its urban identity.

Asked what would happen if charges were pressed against him, the mayor said he knew he did everything in accordance with the law.

Bandic dismissed media allegations that Zagreb was facing a financial collapse, saying it was less indebted than any other city in Croatia.

He indirectly confirmed that he would run for mayor again at the upcoming elections, saying he wished the capital's voters as many candidates as possible.

Asked if he would run with a party or independently, Bandic said there was still time to decide that.

Speaking of his presidential candidacy, Bandic said he certainly had to run for president. Explaining his failure at the last parliamentary election, he said citizens probably saw it as "an attempt to have two positions."

Bandic said his opponent in the presidential election, incumbent President Ivo Josipovic, "is doing his job well."

He criticised the Zoran Milanovic Cabinet, saying it should have pursued the development and infrastructure projects launched by the previous government and that he expected faster and better moves.
