“I’m glad we saw those who were not ‘for’ – I want all future candidates to build up enough for the Statute and to get involved in the work of Croatian football. HNS is not just Rijeka or Dinamo; the football league is made by the lower leagues and the base. It is necessary to gather experience, work in practice,” he added.
