The Plenkovic-cabinet received 91 endorsements (HDZ, MOST, Bandic, HDSSB, minorities and HSS [temporarily]) against 45, so at the end (sive: beginning) a broad 2/3-majority! The exHDZ exGeneral elected by the diaspora is said to encourage Hasanbegovic and other RightWingers to defect from HDZ, but those prefer to wait... Odd that HDSBB voted for it. Do you got a link to the result? HSU must have voted for it, otherwise the numbers do not add up. HDZ & allies 61 Most 13 Bandic 2 HDSBB 1 HSS 5 Minorities 8 You need HSU 1 to get to 91 (and it was announced they supported HDZ - see my post on the previous page) Who were the 45 of 60 opposition MPs that bothered to vote against? |

It's taken from www.about.hr ( as far as I remember). They didn't name the OppositionParties. HNS and IDS ruled out any support, but might have abstained? |

The government includes HDZ + allies, Most, and all eight national minority MPs, which is 84 seats.
Four key goals:
- stable and lasting economic growth
- creation of new jobs
- reversing emigration and securing "demographic renewal"
- social justice and solidarity
Plenkovic’s right hand man HDZ political secretary Davor Ivo Stier becomes one of four Vice Prime Ministers and Foreign Minister.
Former general Damir Krsticevic becomes Vice Prime Minister, and Minister of Defence.
The third HDZ Vice Prime Minister is Martina Dalic, who also becomes Minister of Economy (she was Finance Minister between 2010 -11 in Jadranka Kosors government.
The fourth Vice Prime Minister is Ivan Kovacic from Most, who will also be Minister of State Administration.
Three Most ministers keep their positions: Interior Minister Vlaho Orepic, Justice Minister Ante Sprlje and Environmental Protection Minister Slaven Dobrovic, who adds the department of energy to his ministry.
Four HDZ ministers keep their posts: Finance Minister Zdravko Maric (officially an Indie), War Veterans’ Minister Tomo Medved, Construction and Planning Minister Lovro Kuscevic and Maritime, Transport and Infrastructure Minister Oleg Butkovic.
Tomislav Tolusic, who was Regional Development and EU Funds Minister becomes Minister of Agriculture.
Independent Nina Obuljen Korzinek, who is both a violinist and and political scientist (and graduated from the Diplomatic Academy) becomes Minister of Culture instead of Muslim Croatian ultranationalist historian Zlatko Hasanbegovic. She is a former assistant to the Minister of Culture and State Secretary in ministry between 2006-11, so they have finally decided to give that post to someone who is actually competent and not a fanatic.
Dr. Milan Kujundzic becomes Minister of Health. He returned to HDZ in August after leaving the party in 2013 and forming the (very) right-wing Croatian Dawn. He ran for HDZ president in 2012, but lost to Tomislav Karamarko. He holds a Ph.D. in medicine and is a former Deputy Health Minister, but also a fan of Croatian World War II Fascist leader Ante Pavelic - but apparently there has to be at least one controversial right wing in each HDZ government, and at least Kujundzic has relevant experience for the job.
The new Minister of Science and Education Pavo Barisic was sacked a Deputy Science and Education Minister in 2006 after it was revealed that the ministry paid for his secretary (and mistress) accompanying him to a science symposium and that he "taught" 19 courses at four different university faculties, while working only 30% of the hours and leaving the rest to assistants. He is professor of philosophy at the University of Split and was head of the Department of Philosophy 2005-13.
