Accused Mamić and the Croatian league
“The most irregular championship is in Croatia. Nowhere does one club have two teams in the same league, namely Dinamo and Lokomotiva. Look at what they did last weekend, how they played from one to two, only fools don’t want to see that,” he said. said Džarovski in an interview for the Serbian media in 2013.

He also accused Zdravko Mamić of fixing the match in which Dinamo lost to Lyon 7:1. “Why? Because of the money. Who asks for shame and face? Take the money and keep quiet. I knew the day before the match that there would be more than five goals at Maksimir. Zdravko Mamić set up the match. He will take the money because he has to. His HDZ lost the elections and he needs money, he will no longer receive it from the state,” he said.
In several public appearances, he accused both FIFA and UEFA of corruption and called on Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini to resign on several occasions. “EuroFOL! These are mobsters! The mountain shook, a mouse was born. If the Pope resigned, why not Blatter and Platini!?
I have been to the UEFA Cup and Champions League draws six times. This can be set up by a child in the first grade. They have to clean themselves, these are all small fish, and the fish stinks from the head,” said Džarovski about the draws for big competitions.
