Three officials -- Zeljka Antunovic, Zoran Milanovic and Tonino Picula -- had already publicly announced their candidacies, while Zlatko Komadina, Milan Bandic, Zvonimir Mrsic and Mato Arlovic should state by a session of the SDP Main Committee on May 19 whether they accept their nominations, which have been put forward by their town and municipal committees.
The candidates will be formally proposed at the Main Committee session, while the final number of candidates will be announced at an emergency election convention scheduled for June 2.
