# Health minister Vili Beroš is dismissed after an EPPO public-procurement investigation

Date: 2024

## The fact

On 15 November 2024 Croatian health minister Vili Beroš was dismissed from [Andrej Plenković](/people/andrej-plenkovic)’s third cabinet after an EPPO investigation into corruption in public procurement.

## Context

Vili Beroš is an unresolved person candidate. This run does not mint him. A unique count of dismissed ministers across three cabinets is neighbouring journalism, not Contribution.size.

Cabinet 17 May 2024; dismissal 15 November 2024. Store the dismissal. Keep Health minister Vili Beroš is dismissed after an EPPO public-procurement investigation on 2024-11-15 separate from neighbouring 7 April 2017 Lex Agrokor, 19 October 2016 first cabinet, 17 May 2024 third cabinet, and 15 November 2024 Beroš dismissal.

The Prime Minister of Croatia proposes the cabinet, survives Sabor confidence votes, and is HDZ president. He does not sit as EPPO, as the extraordinary administrator of Agrokor, or as the European Commission. A 17 May 2024 vote is not authorship of every later minister file. An associate’s EPPO search is not a completed personal conviction unless a court so holds on its own row.

## Evidence and sources

European Public Prosecutor’s Office carries the official instrument or communique. 24sata records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is HDZ longevity as patronage-adjacency after an EPPO file, not a personal conviction and not a Ukraine-war row.

## What is established and what is not

Established: Beroš was dismissed on 15 November 2024 after an EPPO health-procurement investigation, as recorded in the third-cabinet membership table.

Not established: A unique later conviction integer, or that the prime minister was named as a defendant in the same EPPO file.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

EPPO investigated. Beroš is named, not minted. He did not sit as EPPO.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Health minister Vili Beroš is dismissed after an EPPO public-procurement investigation, not a later speech about Health minister Vili Beroš is dismissed after an EPPO public-procurement investigation.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Health minister Vili Beroš is dismissed after an EPPO public-procurement investigation on 2024-11-15 is not a licence to treat every later European Public Prosecutor’s Office communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row.
