\u201cThat possibility exists and I absolutely won\u2019t dismiss it, but I hope it won\u2019t come to that if we get a clear answer as to who is to blame\u201d, the President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 commented on the gas affair and the Opposition\u2019s initiative to call an extraordinary Parliamentary session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a fact that gas was bought and sold at cut-price because it could not be stored. Evidently, some people who answer for that knew about it and someone has to answer politically for it. The State Prosecutor’s Office (DORH) should investigate whether a crime was committed and if there is an answer to the crucial question \u2013 who profited. But whatever DORH investigates can be no reason for the silence of the Prime Minister and the people who answer for it. Should those answers and reactions be satisfactory, I’ll consider it sufficient. If not, I will decide alone under no pressure by anyone because I have never consulted with anyone from the Opposition and I can’t receive people for consultations of that kind.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was asked by reporters about the gas scandal: “It’s criminal negligence bordering on a criminal offence. These are unbelievable things. There where I see elements of a criminal offence, I will openly talk about it. I want promptly an answer to the question where that gas ended up, who is responsible for the fact that one knew about this problem for months \u2013 a fact no one is denying \u2013 because HEP (power utility) allegedly notified those in charge, allegedly not once, and they didn’t do anything about it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
