ZAGREB, 13 January 2021 - Anka Mrak-Taritas of the GLAS party has asked the relevant state office to provide her with data on the number of properties reconstructed after the 1991-1995 Homeland War.
According to a press release issued by GLAS, Mrak-Taritaš says that it should not have happened that properties reconstructed in 1996 were destroyed in the 29 December earthquake, which took seven lives and caused extensive damage in Sisak-Moslavina County.
She said that the authorities were obliged to investigate any wrongdoing in the process of reconstruction under the 1996 law on reconstruction, underscoring that human lives were endangered in those rebuilt houses that were damaged by the recent disaster.
The lawmaker sent the request to the central state office for reconstruction and housing, insisting on the list specifying builders hired for the 1996 reconstruction and engineers and experts hired for supervision of the reconstruction in formerly war-stricken areas.
Mrak-Taritas says that information should be available to the general public.
