'We will not give in, because it is Zagreb that will decide
whether democracy is to stay or vanish', Tomac said during the
presentation of a book entitled 'Democratic Freedoms in Croatia',
which took place in the European House in Zagreb.
Croatian Parliament Deputy Speaker Drazen Budisa (Croatian
Social-Liberal Party, HSLS) said that it was obvious that Marina
Matulic-Dropulic, who was named by President Franjo Tudjman, would
be Zagreb Mayor only a couple of days. Budisa said he was convinced
that the third candidate of the Opposition alliance would also be
from the HSLS.
