Petrinja Mayor Darinko Dumbović said at a forum in Petrinja on Saturday that the town authorities would transparently present the distribution of donations in a week, the "Petrinja Spring" initiative said.

At the forum, the head of the “Petrinja Spring” citizens’ initiative, Drinka Mažić, prioritised the issues of adequately informing citizens, repairing earthquake damage, reconstructing the city, distributing donations and citizens exercising their rights, in accordance with the questions and comments that citizens have set as priority issues in the past three weeks when communicating with the “Petrinja Spring” initiative.

By the end of the month, a tender for the completion of the Zagreb-Sisak motorway, including a fast road to Petrinja, with a construction deadline of two years, will be published.

One of the questions that could be heard at the forum was when local children will be able to continue with normal schooling.

“That is one of the fundamental questions for the city’s reconstruction and revitalisation since the lack of educational opportunities results in young people leaving Petrinja,” it was said.
The “Petrinja Spring” citizens’ initiative organised the forum to establish two-way communication between institutions in charge of the reconstruction of the city and the citizens.

“Petrinja Spring” is a citizens’ initiative based on the idea of a fast, quality and efficient reconstruction of Petrinja. The values its actions are based on are community, responsibility and credibility.

The online forum was attended, among others, by representatives of the task force dealing with the aftermath of the 29 December earthquake in Sisak-Moslavina County, Mayor Darinko Dumbović and representatives of the initiative.
