Split City Council political controversy

Overview

A session of the Split City Council regarding nightclub regulations in the old city center ended in chaos. Following a dispute over procedural rules, Council President Igor Stanišić ordered the removal of councilor Bojan Ivošević, which prompted an opposition walkout and the adjournment of the session due to a lack of quorum.

Marijana Puljak, president of the Centar party, characterized the incident as a ‘cheap political circus’ and a ‘smoke screen’ designed to distract from more significant issues. Puljak further accused Mayor Tomislav Šuta and city authorities of financial irregularities, alleging that public funds are being diverted through inflated invoices to private entities and that informal associates are influencing city contracts.
