Croatia's Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic said on Wednesday that he proposed economy professor Marko Primorac as the new finance minister after Zdravko Maric filed his resignation in an unexpected move.
Maric, who had initiated tax reforms and a stricter control of expenditure, has not talked publicly yet about his reasons for leaving but the government said that he cited private reasons. Plenkovic said Maric would talk to media on Thursday.
