Leader of the right-wing DP party and Deputy Parliament Speaker Miroslav Skoro will run for mayor of Zagreb in the coming local election, sources from that party unofficially confirmed for the Croatian state news agency Hina on Wednesday evening.

The sources said more information will be known in a few days’ time and Skoro will not be making any statements to the media today.

Ove the past few days, Skoro has made vague statements about his candidacy. On Saturday he said that everyone in his party is in the game when it comes to running for Zagreb mayor, including himself.

“Each member of the DP has to be prepared to be in the game and that’s the principle we function by,” Skoro said then.

Attending late Mayor Milan Bandic’s funeral today, Skoro said that the candidate from his party would be announced in a few days’ time.
