The Croatian parliament approved on Wednesday Oct 19,2016 a new government led by the conservative HDZ party leader Andrej Plenkovic whose main task will be to boost growth and sort out fragile public finances in one of the weakest European Union economies.
The
new government was formed by the HDZ and its junior center-right
reformist partner Most ("Bridge") after several weeks of negotiations
following a Sept. 11,2016 snap election.
HDZ won most parliamentary seats in the snap election following a
collapse of the previous HDZ-Most government in June, after just five
months in power, due to a row over a conflict of interest case involving
a former HDZ leader
The government got support of 91 out of 151 parliamentary deputies.
"We
will be the government that knows how to bring about changes,"
HDZ party leader Andrej Plenkovic told the parliamentary deputies while presenting his cabinet.
