The campaign for the mayor of Zagreb will last relatively short and, at least as far as I am concerned, it will be financially very restrained and transparent, said today the Minister of Health and SDP candidate for the mayor of Zagreb, Rajko Ostojić.
– For those four weeks, I will take unpaid leave and will not use any resources of the Ministry, starting from secretaries and drivers to cars, and you will never see me leaving for the campaign in a ministry car – he emphasized. When asked about media speculations regarding potential successors to the position of Minister of Health if he wins the elections for the mayor of Zagreb, Ostojić replied that he understands the journalistic curiosity but added that these writings are ‘at the level of pure hypothesis’, and that the SDP has a huge number of candidates for the position of Minister of Health.
He also noted that during the campaign he will be replaced by Deputy Marijan Cesarik.
– The deputy is by definition a mirror image of me and he will actively lead the ministry together with the assistants – emphasized Minister of Health Rajko Ostojić at a press conference on reducing waiting lists for specialist examinations.
