ZAGREB, 17 May 2022 - State Attorney General Zlata Hrvoj Šipek said on Tuesday that she would refrain from commenting on statements made by President Zoran Milanović and Prime Minister Andrej Plenković.
The Office of the State Attorney General (DORH) says on its website that the responsibility for the statements lies with those who have made them and that everyone should be aware of the constitutional definition of DORH as an autonomous and independent judicial agency.
The State Attorney General does not cave in under pressure caused by statements made by individuals and media and makes decisions exclusively based on facts established in legally prescribed procedures, DORH says, among other things, on its web site, following the exchange of accusations between the president and the prime minister over the case of Defence Minister Mario Banožić and Milanović's insistence that Banožić should be arrested due to suspicion of favouritism at the time when he was State Assets Minister.
