OPPOSITION'S GOTOVAC RELEASED FROM HOSPITAL EARLIER, FEELS BETTER

ZAGREB, June 8 (Hina) - Croatian opposition presidential candidate Vlado Gotovac was released from Zagreb's Rebro hospital at 17.00 hours on Sunday. Gotovac was detained for additional check-ups after being attacked on his presidential campaign in Pula last Thursday. "Gotovac is feeling a little better, so he has been released earlier than planned. His diagnosis is expected to be made known tomorrow at 11.00", said the head of Gotovac's election headquarters, Karlo Gorinsek. The doctor team following Gotovac's condition recommended the patient must rest for several days, but, according to Gorinsek, Gotovac could not wait that long, since "the time of the campaign is unavoidably running out." It was requested of the Croatian Television Administration that Gotovac's appearance, as part of each presidential candidate's presentation, be broadcast from his apartment on 12 June, a day after current Croatian President Franjo Tudjman's, and two days after social democratic candidate Zdravko Tomac's presentation.
