KRK, Jan 16 (Hina) - Croatian presidential candidate Drazen Budisa on Sunday told a pre-electoral rally on the island of Krk he would try to organise Croatia as a state of social justice and liberal-type political democracy, in which
all citizens will be equal before the law, and in which the young will have prospects. Croatia will turn to Europe and the world, will not distance itself from its past, while remaining fully aware of the fact that one cannot live on old ideological battles, said the presidential candidate of the SDP/HSLS coalition which won recent parliamentary elections. Budisa said he would perform the presidential duty in keeping with the Constitution, adding he would try to change the Constitution, in cooperation with parliament and the government, in order to prevent too much power to lay in the hands of only one man. Budisa said he would step out of his party

on Sunday told a pre-electoral rally on the island of Krk he would
try to organise Croatia as a state of social justice and liberal-
type political democracy, in which all citizens will be equal
before the law, and in which the young will have prospects.
Croatia will turn to Europe and the world, will not distance itself
from its past, while remaining fully aware of the fact that one
cannot live on old ideological battles, said the presidential
candidate of the SDP/HSLS coalition which won recent parliamentary
elections.
Budisa said he would perform the presidential duty in keeping with
the Constitution, adding he would try to change the Constitution,
in cooperation with parliament and the government, in order to
prevent too much power to lay in the hands of only one man.
Budisa said he would step out of his party, reduce expenditure at
the President's Office by at least two thirds, not use the official
presidential residence, and put the residence at the Brijuni Isles
at tourist use.
