We won't spare any money to make it the best coffee house in Europe. We start planning the Corso coffee house tomorrow, we'll be looking for solutions and competing for tender, and then restore and design it in accordance with the fact that this building and coffee house space are specially protected," Mayor Bandić said.

The Ministry of State Property and the City of Zagreb signed a contract for the exchange of real estate in the area of Zagreb, thus giving the City four real estates, including the well-known and long-closed Corso coffee house in Gundulićeva Street, while the state acquired one building and one business space. The contract for the exchange was signed on Wednesday in the currently abandoned Corso coffee house space by State Property Minister Goran Marić and Zagreb Mayor Milan Bandić.

While recalling that they agreed on this six months ago, Bandić thanked Marić for his conciliatory nature and announced that the City plans to create a coffee house similar to the old one in the Corso space and bring it back to its former glory, but did not specify any deadlines or details when the coffee house is planned to open.

"We won't spare any money to make it the best coffee house in Europe. We start planning the Corso coffee house tomorrow, we'll be looking for solutions and competing for tender, and then restore and design it in accordance with the fact that this building and coffee house space are specially protected," Bandić said. He added that he hopes to, following in the footsteps of Tina Ujević and other Zagreb intellectuals and mayors who have visited this coffee house, once have a coffee in it. Minister Marić signified that he was satisfied that the coffee house will be restored, because, as he said, "there is nothing worse than the abandonment of objects, especially state ones, and this is now the beginning of the end of the abandonment of this coffee house". " I am sure that this will not only be a place to have coffee but also a meeting place for the intelligentsia and discussions," the minister said, adding that in response to a journalist's question that the processes of privatization and sale of state property are proceeding according to plan this year and that the sale will indeed be greater than expected and will surely reach around a billion kuna for this year. Of the other properties that the City of Zagreb and the Ministry of State Property exchanged, and of which journalists received a written notice, but which the signatories did not discuss, the City, apart from the Corso coffee house, worth around 30 million kuna, acquired real estates that were until now owned by the state, or a space in Jurišićeva Street 1, currently used by the Zagreb Tourist Association, valued at around 3.7 million kuna, as well as another space in Jurišićeva 1, valued at around 3.1 million kuna, which is being used illegally. The City also acquired a co-ownership share of a property in Sesvetski Kraljevec, valued at around 2.9 million kuna, used for housing animals. The state, on the other hand, acquired from the City of Zagreb a business space on the first floor in Frankopanska Street 1, valued at around 10.5 million kuna, which is used by the Ministry of Finance, as well as the building in Austrije Republic Street 20, valued at around 28 million kuna, which is used by the Ministry of Construction and Spatial Planning. Commissioned for a comment on the statement of the Croatian president from Karlovac that she thinks the government should be reduced, i.e., the number of ministries, Minister Marić replied that he is dealing with his job, leading the Ministry of State Property, and that he is concentrated on this part of the job.
