The Office for the Suppression of Corruption and Organised Crime (USKOK) will instruct the police to investigate suspicions of possible negligence and omissions during the post-war reconstruction of buildings which were demolished in the 29 December quake in Sisak-Moslavina County.

The prosecutorial authorities said on Monday that USKOK would immediately instruct the police to conduct an investigation after some of the houses, renovated after the war, collapsed in the quake.

Earlier on Monday, Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic said that it was necessary to look into why some houses were poorly reconstructed after the 1991-1995 Homeland War, adding that he did not have more details.

Speaking to the press, he said “it’s necessary to look into how and why that happened, who did the job, who supervised, who issued the final certificates of occupancy.”

Plenkovic said that at the moment he did not have more details and that he would ask Construction Minister Darko Horvat and the state secretary in the State Reconstruction and Housing Office, Nikola Mazar.
