Croatia could appoint a new chief state inspector this week, Prime Minister Andrej Plenković said on Monday.
Asked by reporters when the replacement for Andrija Mikulić would be named, Plenković replied, “It could even be this week.” He said the government had a candidate with whom it had held talks, but did not reveal the person’s identity.
Mikulić was dismissed during the closed portion of a government session on Nov. 27 last year. He was arrested the same day on suspicion of accepting a bribe. The new appointment would fill the post after his removal.
It could even be this week.
