The chair of the Conflict of Interest Commission, Natasa Novakovic, said on Friday they were looking into media reports concerning Parliament Speaker Gordan Jandrokovic.

“The Commission is investigating facts concerning Mr Jandrokovic, and that’s all I can say. I can’t go into details. We are focusing on everything that has been published in the media, the relevance and truthfulness of those reports,” Novakovic told Nova TV.

The Commission is investigating the link between Jandrokovic and businessman Vedran Gajski. Jandrokovic has confirmed that Gajski contacted him because he was paying rent to the Drzavne Nekretnine state property management company for business premises that were not connected to the power grid and that Gajski then contacted the then state secretary in charge of state property, Krunoslav Katicic, and informed him of the problem.

Novakovic said that the Commission is also gathering facts regarding the case of the prime minister’s chief of staff Zvonimir Frka Petesic, after which they will decide on further steps.

The Commission is also looking into the case of Defence Minister Mario Banozic.

Nova TV said that Vanja Bilic, former assistant justice minister in the government of Zoran Milanovic, had used a state-owned apartment even though he had a permanent address in Zagreb at the time.
