 Croatian presidential election, 1992 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
First Presidential elections under new 1990 Constitution of the republic of Croatia, held 1992 by popular vote.
The Constitution was adopted in December 1990, but the elections could not be held due to escalating armed conflict between Croatian government and Krajina rebels, backed by Yugoslav federal army.

 CROATIA'S DEMOCRACY DEFICIT
Croatia's citizenship law, which follows a jus sanguinis model where citizenship is determined by descent rather than residence, makes it more difficult for long-term Serb residents to obtain citizenship by naturalization than it does for ethnic Croats with no history of residence in Croatia.
Voters who have residences in the Republic of Croatia and are on the day of the elections outside the Republic of Croatia vote in the diplomatic-consular representative offices of the Republic of Croatia for representatives of a constituency as determined by their residence on the territory of the Republic of Croatia.
According to the 1999 census, the Serb population in Croatia was 581, 663 or approximately 12 percent of the total population of 4,784,265.

It was of particular concern that in recent weeks Croatia has sought to repudiate unambiguous commitments made in key documents and to ignore the results of the elections of 13 and 14 April 1997 by using the 1991 census as the basis for determining Croat/Serb proportional representation in local institutions.
In a Presidential Statement adopted on 18 September 1997 (S/PRST/1997/45), the Security Council expressed its deep concern at the lack of substantial progress by the Government of Croatia in fulfilling the conditions and tasks that were key to the transfer of executive authority to Croatia in the region under the UNTAES mandate.
The essential prerequisite was the full cooperation of the Government of Croatia which bore the responsibility of convincing the local population that the reintegration of the region was sustainable and that the process of reconciliation was irreversible.

The opposition’s poor showing in these elections was attributed mostly to their failure to agree on a single credible candidate.
Moreover, the CSLP was internally split between Gotovac and Drazen Budisa (CSLP’s presidential candidate in the 1992 elections), which caused many of Budisa’s supporters to break ranks and vote for Tudjman.
In the run up to the election, Tudjman also staged several grandiose public events which were clearly campaign events, including the “peace train” ride to Vukovar in eastern Slavonia, which he and 2000 supporters took, and his birthday celebration at the national theater.

Finally, free and fair elections have been everywhere the minimal requirements for democracy which are not sufficient for the full democratization but have served as its base, and sorry to say even this minimum-democracy has been violated in a series of Balkan countries like Albania, Serbia and Romania.
In Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Croatia, Romania and Yugoslavia the parliaments are bicameral, and in Hungary, Bulgaria, Slovakia and Macedonia unicameral.
The "perils of presidentialism" have been the biggest danger in the Balkans which can lead to a new reverse way, therefore the checks and balances mechanisms have to be strengthened against them as far as possible.
