“The people are in panic, looking for their loved ones,” he added and called for anyone who can, to come and help in Petrinja, particularly professional fire-fighters and the army.
In a statement for N1, Dubmovic said that he had spoken to Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic who set out immediately to go to Petrinja.
