ZAGREB, November 17, 2019 – The Work and Solidarity Party will support President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović in the presidential election, party president Milan Bandić said on Sunday.
The president has strengthened Croatia’s international position, promoted unity and shown social awareness as well as openness towards citizens, he said.
“One should appreciate her ability and diplomatic skills to strengthen Croatia’s position in the EU, while at the same time keeping exceptional relations both with Trump and Putin as well as being an eminent guest at the most important global forums and initiatives,” Bandić said.
Grabar-Kitarović has connected Croatia with central Europe countries and the Three Seas Initiative is a step forward in the foreign policy, which was imprisoned in the “region” for years, he said, adding that the president had correct relations with the neighbouring countries and that she pushed for the establishment of new bridges of cooperation.
The president encourages understanding others and those who are different and has been the spokesperson of the common man and the weak, Bandić said.
Croatia needs to have unity and optimism restored, which is what Grabar-Kitarović has been doing over the past five years, he added.
Bandić said he was not running for president because of what he still had to do as the mayor of Zagreb.
