"I will call the election within the legal time frame. I have to wait until July 15 and then I will call the election, most likely for the beginning of September. I have not decided (the date) yet, but I am inclined for it to be September 11," Grabar-Kitarovic told the N1 television channel.
She said she preferred September 11 to September 4 because school starts on September 5. "No one wants to deal with politics during summer. No one wants their holidays to be taken up by political campaigning. People want a rest from politics too. I want to leave September 4 to families to be together with their children before they go back to school," the president said.
