“I hereby irrevocably resign from the position of president of the Homeland Movement and from all other duties in the party, effective from 20 July 2021,” Škoro announced in a Facebook post.
“I resign because I think that the time has come for the Homeland Movement to continue its successful political activity under new leadership. I am proud that we managed to form a political party that the Croatian people have recognised as being one that can preserve the Croatian national interests and values that are enshrined in the foundations of our state and our people,” Škoro said.
He noted that in slightly over a year since its formation, the Homeland Movement had managed to achieve great successes in national and local elections, emerging as the third strongest political group in the country.
Škoro said that he would remain a faithful member of the party and would help it in achieving its interests.
The Homeland Movement said they were surprised by Škoro’s resignation, but accepted it “with understanding”, thanking him for his contribution.
