the action in Zagreb. #L#
The HNS has already forwarded into parliamentary procedure a motion
urging passing a law on the direct election of local leaders. Today,
Croatian citizens were given the chance to say if they supported the
proposal.
"A mayor would have the same powers as now but a different
responsibility," said Pusic, adding the mayor, according to the HNS
motion, would answer to the citizens who elected him instead of only
to the city authorities or his or her party.
The results of today's action will be disclosed at a news conference
on Monday.
