Zagreb Mayor and Labour and Solidarity Party leader Milan Bandic said on Monday that his party would support the parliamentary majority as long as it and the government cooperated on projects as partners.

“The parliamentary majority will be maintained as long as we cooperate with the government as partners on projects of interest to Zagreb residents and Croatian citizens,” Bandic told a news conference.

He stressed that his party did not have any problems with the ruling coalition because they dealt with problems “as we go and without involving the media.”

Asked by a reporter if the Labour and Solidarity Party would support Health Minister Milan Kujundzic against whom a part of the Opposition has submitted a motion for a vote of no confidence, Bandic said the matter was in the hands of Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic.

“We never stigmatised anyone,” he said.

The Zagreb mayor would not reveal which candidate his party would support in the coming presidential election or whether he himself would run for president, saying only that he would reveal that at the end of September.
