ZAGREB, March 21 (Hina) - The Zagreb City Assembly on Thursday
voted confidence in Assembly president Zdravko Tomac of the Social
Democratic Party (SDP) with a majority of the vote.
Only 13 councillors of the ruling Croatian Democratic Union
(HDZ), who had proposed the vote of non-confidence in Tomac because
of his letter to the Council of Europe, voted against.
The HDZ councillors said they supported the intention of the
letter which urged Croatia's admission to full membership of the
Council of Europe despite the political crisis in Zagreb. However,
they stressed that Tomac should have called an emergency session to
formulate the content of the letter with consensus.
"I sent the letter to prevent those international forces which
want to keep Croatia out of European integrations," Tomac told the
Assembly session.
Tomac said that in his meetings with representatives of the
international community he had refused to internationalize the
issue of the Zagreb mayor, defending a view that it was a Croatian
internal issue.
In the continuation of the session, the Assembly was expected
to discuss confidence in Marina Matulovic-Dropulic, mayor appointed
by President Franjo Tudjman, and election of a new mayor and his
deputies after Tudjman had refused to confirm the mayor and his
deputies chosen by the City Assembly.
