Friscic said his party and its coalition partners, the Social Liberals (HSLS) and the Primorje-Gorski Kotar Alliance (PGS), expected to win 20-25 seats in the parliament in the upcoming elections, and that talks with other parties were under way as well.
As many as 226 new members have joined the HSS in Sibenik County over the last two months, Friscic said, adding that the party had 35,000 members.
Commenting on the situation in the Social Democratic Party (SDP) after its ailing leader Ivica Racan resigned, Friscic said he believed the party would preserve its unity.
