ZAGREB, 28 December, 2021 - Zagreb Mayor Tomislav Tomašević said at a news conference on Tuesday that the city administration would be overhauled in 2022, and as a result, the number of city departments would be cut from 27 to 16.
Those 16 departments will be led by acting directors until vacancies are advertised, the mayor told a news conference.
He announced a public call for applications for the head of the office for city asset management and for the spokesperson for the city administration.
Tomašević highlighted the fact that the four-member management board of the Zagrebački Holding multi-utility conglomerate had been selected following a public call for the first time.
The mayor expressed dissatisfaction with the pace of post-quake reconstruction in the city, notably of private properties.
He added that the city administration had demanded amendment of the relevant legislation and that the law on post-quake reconstruction had been changed.
There is no longer any excuse for the state not to start making the relevant decisions, the mayor added.
