After several drama-fuelled weeks, Croatia’s biggest opposition party SDP (S&D) finally chose Joško Klisović as its candidate for the Zagreb mayor in the local elections this spring.
“He is a qualified and experienced person, and will be given full liberty during the campaign,” announced SDP’s new chief, Peđa Grbin.
Former deputy foreign minister and former MP, Klisović, won the party’s nomination at the very last minute, after his colleague Gordan Maras, also a former MP, had already announced his candidacy for the mayor of the country’s capital, one of the most coveted prizes in local elections.
