"With the support of my family, friends and numerous Croatian citizens and emigrants, I have decided to join in the race for the honourable and responsible office of President of the Republic of Croatia," Miksic said in a statement issued by his election team.
Two weeks ago Miksic said he would consider putting in his nomination for the president, and the head of his election team said Miksic would pull out of the race because of "unequal treatment by the media".
A few days afterwards Miksic said in Washington that he would continue his campaign provided he was given an equal opportunity to communicate through the media.
