presidential elections, because Croatian citizens have understood
my messages from 1971, as well as those from recent parliamentary

I will be elected president of Croatia in the first round, the
candidate of the Croatian People's Party/Croatian Peasants'

Democratic Action of Croatia coalition told reporters in Zagreb.
Mesic reiterated that as Croatian president, he would advocate the
rule of law and the equality of all citizens before the law, the
reduction of presidential powers and the president's function as a
factor of balance and state symbol, and that he would urge the new
government to fulfil its pre-electoral promises.
Mesic estimated that at the January 24 elections, he will receive
the vote of one section of the supporters of the formerly ruling
Croatian Democratic Union, namely "the section who from the
beginning advocated a multiparty system, democracy, and the
equality of citizens, and not from those who looted their own
people."
