Speaking of the party's platform, Holjevac said that the SNL would focus on economic development and that it would be open to all democratic political options.
Holjevac said that the SNL would push for the present counties to be reorganised into four major regions -- Zagreb, Slavonia, Central Croatia and the Adriatic region -- based on historical, geographical and other factors.
One of the party's goals will be to ensure that 60 per cent of funds from the national budget are used for the needs of the central government and the rest for domestic regional projects.
The founding session was attended, among others, by Milan Bandic, the Mayor of Zagreb and member of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), and Josip Friscic, the chairman of the Peasant Party (HSS).
