ZAGREB, Jan 16 (Hina) - Presidential candidates Stjepan Mesic and Jadranka Kosor on Sunday morning cast their ballots at separate polling stations in the run-off election for Croatia's president.

Asked whether he expected the turnout in the run-off election to be higher than in the first round, Mesic said he believed that a higher number of citizens could go to the polls.

Asked whether he was satisfied with all elements of the Election Law and sanctions for violations of the law, Mesic said that the number of signatures necessary for a candidate to announce his/her candidacy should be increased, that a financial census should be determined, and that the issue of out-of-country voting should be regulated.

The incumbent president was accompanied by his wife Milka.

Presidential candidate Jadranka Kosor went to the polls with her son. Asked about the presidential campaign, she said that it had been "tough" but "generally good".

Earlier in the day, Parliament Speaker Vladimir Seks went to the polls. Asked to comment on leaflets which appeared in citizens' mailboxes during the electioneering ban on Saturday, separately instructing voters not to vote for the presidential candidates, Seks said that this could be considered a violation of the electioneering ban.

Prime Minister Ivo Sanader, who also voted this morning, told reporters that he expected a higher turnout than in the first election round.

Although presidential powers were restricted after 2000, when Croatia became a parliamentary democracy, the function of the president is extremely important for the country, Sanader said.
