HDZ is in the lead in all five Slavonian and all five Dalmatian counties. In terms of towns, HDZ is leading 62 out of 127.
Head of the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) Andrej Plenković spoke to reporters just before midnight on Sunday, thanking everyone who voted in these elections, giving special thanks to HDZ candidates on the excellent results in the second round of local elections, Jutarnji List reported on June 4, 2017.
“Today we saw that the average turnout was 40%, this was expected considering the summer weather,” said Plenković who greeted the election winners from HDZ.
“Together with our partners, HDZ is now in charge of 12 counties, I especially congratulate Anušić in Osijek-Baranja County. HDZ is in the lead in all five Slavonian and all five Dalmatian counties. In terms of towns, HDZ is leading 62 out of 127. I feel these numbers are clear. I specially want to thank a line of colleagues for the great results in Daruvar, Dubrovnik, Metković, Karlovac, Ozalj, Oroslavje, Senj, Đakovo, Požega, Kutina, Imotski, Makarska, Šibenik… Out of four large cities, we could only go forward in Split, thus, the win by Andro Krstulović Opara is the brightest,” said Plenković, before commenting on the political situation in the country.
“As for the national level, we saw the turnout at these elections, all parties will make their analysis, and HDZ is ready for any scenario. The message to parties is that all those who want Croatia to boldly face large political issues, finances, social aspects, security, I invite them to talk to us, on the economy, demographic revitalisation, investment in education. All of these are part of the programme of our government. They are part of our political responsibility. Those who want to join are welcome. Tomorrow we re-open national topics, I believe we will provide the best solutions,” said Plenković.
