The race for the new Croatian president

An increasing number of candidates for the new president of Croatia indicates that the political battle for the effective function of government to be stormy and remind the campaign for parliamentary elections. At the beginning of next year the place will be vacant, because the weights can no longer stand as his second term expires. Deadline candidates last month and next so that the possible new names, but the main candidates are generally already known.

Most likely given the two, and all of the analysis show that in their final billing - most likely in the second round - decided on the new President of the Republic of Croatia. These are the candidates and major political groups - the options left opposition led by the SDP proposed Law School Professor Ivo Josipovic, a right-to-head with the current ruling HDZ-om medical experts and their high officials Hebranga Andrew, son of the same name more famous father.

Interesting the way these two political blocs came to their presidential candidate. While the SDP chose her to unutarstranačkim secret elections (the second candidate was a former Račanov candidate for Prime Minister Ljubo Jurčić, a professor at the Faculty of Economics), HDZ last spring rejected the initiative group of smaller right-wing parties that their joint candidate to be Andrija Hebrang. When Ivo Sanader suddenly left the prime minister's office and leading position in the HDZ, the same day the Presidency of the HDZ has appointed Andrew Hebranga for their presidential candidate. It was apparent sign that the HDZ slipping under the influence of their "hard" line, and to be returned to the political right of the water from which Sanader tried to deliver to solving its main protagonists.

His candidacy now confirmed and Damir Cain from the Istrian Democratic Parliament (who suggests otherwise Mesic of Croatia for the future prime minister, but it just does not attract the difficult operational functions, but would appear in a new government rather be president of the Parliament) and Vesna Pusic Croatian People's Party . It is interesting that both parties have concluded an agreement on a common occurrence with the SDP-om the parliamentary elections due to be increasingly difficult economic situation could sustain before the end of regular time.

Nominated and Vesna Skare-Ozbolt, the former head Tuđmanovog Cabinet and Minister of Justice, which these days just Captain Dragan charges that the "most responsible" for his arrest in Australia. He applied for and Miroslav Tudjman's son, who was the father was head of "roof" of the secret service, then the historian Josip Jurcevic, known for reducing persistent victims of Jasenovac, the controversial entrepreneur returnee from America Mikšić Boris, who is without a zapaženijeg success ran in the previous elections.
