Zagreb Mayor: We Could Have Done Better

Even though he did not wait for electoral results at party headquarters, Bandic denied rumours of dsagreement with Milanovic.

- As the first man of the city, I waited for the results in Praska St. to see for myself how we rank in Zagreb. When I saw that results were more than satisfying, where we won two mandates more than in 2003, I went to Ibler Square to congratulate my colleagues – Milan Bandic said at the opening of garages at Zagreb`s Tuskanac, commenting why he waited for electoral results in Praska St., Social Democratic Party (SDP) city organisation, and not in SDP headquarters at Ibler Square.

- After satisfying results, it is up to my colleagues Milanovic and Jurcic to try and assemble the Cabinet with coalition partners -.

To all speculations about possible disagreement within the party between Milan Bandic and Zoran Milanovic that have been circling lately, the mayor replied “could have, should have”, repeating in the end:

- As the first man in the city, where would I wait for the results if not the city organisation -.

Bandic added that working 365 days a year paid off, seeing how SDP has won 57 mandates this year. Bandic is pleased, but believes they could have done better.
