Zagreb Mayor Tomislav Tomasevic said on Friday that the city was "absolutely ready" to accept refugees from Ukraine and that it was possible to provide them with accommodation at the hostel Loda in Skradin, which is part of the Vladimir Nazor branch of the Zagreb Holding multi-utility conglomerate.

The Vladimir Nazor branch organises trips for children and young people.

Tomasevic said that, in consultation with the Zagreb Holding management, he approved the request of the head of the Sibenik-Knin County civil protection team, who today requested accommodation for potential refugees from Ukraine in Skradin.

The mayor said the City of Zagreb would make a few more locations available for the accommodation of refugees, depending on the needs.

“That is the least we can do in solidarity with the citizens of Ukraine and the tragedy they are going through,” said Mayor Tomasevic, expressing hope that the violence would end so that innocent people would not suffer further.

Tomasevic said that he strongly condemned the aggression against Ukraine, which would ruin many lives.

Northern Croatian Varazdin County has also expressed readiness to accept refugees.
