The Administrative Unit Has No Record of Minister Jevšek’s Request to Change the Intended Use of His ‘Garage’

Following Oštro’s revelation that Minister Aleksander Jevšek’s ‘garage’ does not comply with the issued building permit, as it is a Pannonian house, the minister has told other media outlets that “the process of changing the intended use of this allegedly controversial building has been underway since the beginning of last year”. However, the Murska Sobota Administrative Unit this week informed Oštro that they have no record of a request for a change of use in this specific case.
