Loncar came to the talks in a delegation of the Croatian Democratic
Peasant Party, on whose slate he ran in recent parliamentary
elections. The delegation was headed by party leader Ivan Martan.
The ethnic delegation consisted of Zdenka Cuhnil for the Czech and
Slovak minorities, Furio Radin for the Italian minority, Semso
Tankovic for the Bosniak, Albanian, Montenegrin, Macedonian, and
Slovene minorities, Jene Adam for the Hungarian minority, and
Nikola Mak for the Austrian, Bulgarian, German, Polish, Roma,
Romanian, Ruthenian, Russian, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vlach, and
Jewish minorities.
Loncar had previously written a statement of support to Ivo Sanader
of the Croatian Democratic Union for forming the new government.
Tankovic, Adam, and Mak had done the same, while Cuhnil and Radin
have announced they will give their vote in parliament to Sanader.
