Prime Minister and Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) leader Andrej Plenkovic said on Sunday that light would be shed on all issues regarding the email correspondence between Economy Minister Martina Dalic and consultants and lawyers who worked on Lex Agrokor.

“If there was any wrongdoing, we will seek responsibility and correct the mistakes, if there were any,” the PM told the press, asked if Dalic was politically harming the government and HDZ.

Plenkovic said he has not read thoroughly the email correspondence between Dalic and the consultants and lawyers.

“It will take some time, I will read it, analyse it and after that, I will comment on it,” said the PM.

The website Index.hr published last week the private e-mails of Minister Dalic and a number of advisors from private companies on the writing of the controversial Lex Agrokor passed in April last year. The e-mail leak caused a stir in the Croatian public, raising concerns about the possible conflict of interest.
