MOSTAR, February 17 (FENA) – Newly appointed Mayor of Mostar, Mario Kordić, said today that in his term of office he would focus more on topics that are important for the everyday life of citizens and less political topics and reiterated once again that he will be the mayor of all citizens in Mostar.
He believes that he and the City Council have a lot of work ahead of them because, as he says, many problems have accumulated in the past 12 years, from landfills, through collectors, to parking and water supply.
“We are going to make a new deal for Mostar, that is, to start everything that has been standing all these years. We will start from all the issues we talked about in the election campaign such as Uborak landfill, collectors, water supply, parking. Given that Mostar has not had a City Council for the last 12 years and that all these topics and problems have accumulated, I think we will make a broader consensus in the council and distribute so that all these topics are open at some point,” said Kordić for FENA, adding that working teams will be formed that will deal with all the above-mentioned problems, because, he emphasizes, Mostar does not have the luxury for addressing those problems individually.
Besides, he pointed out that he would try to move more from political topics, and impose topics that are important for the life of the citizens of Mostar on a daily basis.
When it comes to changing the Statute of the City of Mostar, he said that it definitely needs to be changed as soon as possible.
He believes, however, that this must be approached carefully.
“We need to find the best solution with the partners we have in the City Council so that in the future we have a top statute that will not be ambiguous,” he stressed.
Speaking about attracting investments, creating new jobs, and keeping young people in the city, which, after all, he emphasized in his election campaign, the first man of Mostar said that concrete things were already being done to create new jobs, such as the opening of industrial zones around the city and business incubators.
As for the reorganization of the City Administration, he pointed out that in any case it will be reorganized and that the mentioned administration is now quite cumbersome.
Asked how to restore citizens' trust in institutions, he said that the transparency of all processes in the City Administration will very soon restore people's trust in institutions.
When it comes to cooperation with councilors from other parties, he stressed that 'behind the scenes, a fine and good atmosphere of cooperation is already being created'.
