Expressing satisfaction that numerous foreign observers will follow Croatia's 15 June presidential election, Mrkonjic trusted the observers would visit Croatia's Danube region as well. "There we have prepared the election in the same way as elsewhere in Croatia", he said. According to OSCE's coordinator, there will be more than 150 OSCE observers at the Sunday election.
