Administration Minister Lovro Kuscevic on Wednesday told reporters after being asked if he would step down that his assets have been transparently listed in his Declaration of Assets and that there have been no violations or murky dealings.

“All my assets are transparently presented in my Declaration of Assets and there have been absolutely no violations or suspicions of misconduct. I am staying on,” Kuscevic told reporters outside Government House after meeting with Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic, Parliament Speaker Gordan Jandrokovic and Croatian Democratic Union (HDU) whip Branko Bacic.

He said that he would see on Thursday what the Social Democratic Party’s motion for his removal would look like and whether there would be any serious criticism. “I think that once again that will be just another series of false accusations like those we have seen in the media recently,” he said.

Asked if he was too heavy a burden on the government seeing that the Croatian People’s Party, a partner in the ruling coalition, was calling for his resignation, Kuscevic said that a party supported by 2.5 percent of the electorate “isn’t one to decide on the composition of the Croatian government.”
