Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic, Parliament Speaker Gordan Jandrokovic and President Zoran Milanovic on Monday toured the centre of Petrinja which, according to Petrinja Mayor Darinko Dumbovic, suffered quite a lot of damage in the earthquakes that hit it this morning.
PM: We will help repair damage
PM Andrej Plenkovic said on Monday after touring Petrinja and Sisak that Sisak, Petrinja and other municipalities in Sisak-Moslavina County that had been hit by the earthquake would receive help to repair the damage.
He said that the damage was considerable and stressed that the most important thing was that no one had been injured.

There is a possibility of reallocating funds in the budget of the Ministry of Physical Planning, Construction and State Assets, Plenkovic said after the tour, adding that it would first be necessary to assess the damage caused by the earthquakes and then put everything in a legal framework.
“We will consider all options. I have asked Minister Darko Horvat that his ministry considers what is the best and most pragmatic option,” Plenkovic said, adding that he was also in contact with the European Commission.
“I hope from next year it will get better”, the prime minister said, expressing sympathy for all those whose houses were damaged.
Parliament Speaker: Most important thing is that there are no victims
Parliament Speaker Gordan Jandrokovic also expressed his sympathy for the citizens of Sisak-Moslavina County, Sisak, Petrinja and nearby villages.
“I am extremely sorry that this happened to them at the end of this very difficult year, but the most important thing is that there are no human victims,” Jandrokovic said in Petrinja.
He expressed confidence that the state would respond quickly and help repair the buildings damaged in the earthquakes.
Petrinja Mayor Dumbovic said he was pleased that the state leadership had visited the city only a few hours after that first earthquake that struck Petrinja and Sisak at 6.28 a.m.
He added that citizens were in fear after three earthquakes in a row had occurred and that many had said they were afraid to spend the night in their houses.
