The 45-year-old Zubak was unanimously elected party president at
today's founding assembly. The DSU's inner leadership also
includes Marijan Sunjic, a former Zagreb University head.
"I'm not getting into politics for money but because I've felt that
man needs the freedom that he has deserved but doesn't have today,"
said Zubak.
He said he founded a party "because it is time" people left misery
behind them, in order to return dignity to people, to deliver them
from the poverty and state of social and moral neglect the majority
had been sinking in for the past decade because of an irresponsible
government.
Journalists were interested in Zubak's arms trade. He said he had
been an arms dealer in Croatia and not some other country at a time
when Croatia was defending itself and weapons could not be bought
legally.
"I didn't give out arms at prices I might be ashamed of today and if
(my record) were the least bit unclean I would go to Switzerland or
some place else."
Zubak said he had been an entrepreneur since the age of 26 and that
today he was dealing in fuel and raw petrol and had a number of
companies abroad.
