Prime Minister and HDZ party leader Andrej Plenkovic said in Split on Saturday that the competent agencies would step up the fight against drug dealers and people involved in organised crime.

“We will step up activities that concern legal security. We will change laws if necessary, step up the fight against those who are involved in drug dealing and organised crime and who turn young people into delinquents,” Plenkovic said at an event marking the 30th anniversary of the HDZ branch in Split.

Plenkovic said this in the context of last week’s murder of three drug dealers by a 25-year-old man in Split.
