Rijeka's Mayor

His name is Vojko Obersnel and he has been serving this town for three terms (ending next year). Because of this hardworking Mayor (who resembles Family Guy the cartoon), this town has seen many projects completed and new ones springing up like mushrooms all over it! The most significant has got to be the Rijeka-Zagreb highway. The government here is well known for being slow in the construction of anything in this country. So the Mayor of Rijeka took pictures of crowded Rijeka road and sent it to the relevant offices constructing the highway EVERY single day. Yes.. imagine how this irritated the hell out of the people in the offices! Good job!

The most amazing thing is I found his Blog. In Singapore, one will never find a Mayor or blog belonging to any MP (Member of Parliament). Don't ask me why. And in his Blog which unfortunately is written in Croatian, he wrote posts about the upcoming projects in Rijeka. His love for the town. And he even answered any comments left by his citizens on his Blog. That is such a wonder to see. The Mayor listening to his citizens!!! Without further ado, here is Obi's Blog for your pleasant viewing!
