ZAGREB CITY ASSEMBLY MAY BE CONSTITUTED BEFORE MAY 31 -- KREGAR

ZAGREB, May 8 (Hina) - The Zagreb city electoral commission on Monday issued complete results of Sunday's elections for the Zagreb City Assembly. The results do not differ from last night's, commission's chairman, Miroslav Sumanovic, said Monday. Out of the total 668,996 registered voters, 232,226, or 33.70 per cent voted. Fifteen seats, out of the fifty in the city assembly, were won by the Social Democratic Party (SDP), ten by the Croatian Social Liberal Party (HSLS), nine by the Croatian People's Party (HNS), the Action of Social Democrats of Croatia and Liberal Party (ASH-LS) coalition won six seats, Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) five, the Democratic Centre (DC) five and Croatian Peasants' Party (HSS) two seats. Although it had previously been announced that the City Assembly would hold its constitutive session on May 31, the Government's city commissioner, Josip Kregar, said Monday parties, should they be interested in doing so, could motion to the Government an earlier constituting of the Assembly. Kregar expressed satisfaction with the elections and announced he would on Friday invite political parties which won assembly seats, to discuss the convening of an Assembly session. The new City Assembly will decide on the appointment of a new Zagreb mayor, and as not one party has the necessary majority, the election of the mayor will depend on an agreement among parties, Kregar said. Asked how much money was spent in the elections, Kregar said the funds spent were much less than the envisaged four million kuna (DM1 million). The Zagreb City Assembly was dissolved on March 10 following the resignations of 26 out of 50 councillors, causing the need for the snap elections. (hina) lml
