Ivan Blažičko publicly commented on the Croatian Ski Association affair for the first time

Journalist and entrepreneur Ivan Blažičko confirmed that he received cash for work done at Sljeme, but denies any involvement in money laundering.
Blažičko claims he repeatedly told Vedran Pavlek that he was willing to do the job without a fee.
He dismissed suspicions of participating in money laundering through fake invoices, stating he never issued any invoice to the Ski Association.
He confirmed occasional cooperation with the Croatian Olympic Committee, but with proper contracts and invoices.
He said he is outraged that he is being portrayed as part of the scandal.
