		Croatia is bounded by Slovenia in the northwest, by Hungary in the northeast, by Serbia and Montenegro in the east, by Bosnia and Herzegovina in the south and east, and by the Adriatic Sea in the west.
		Croatia is a parliamentary democracy with an elected president who appoints a council of ministers and a prime minister.
		Croatia was placed under Italian and later German military control, while the Ustachi dictatorship perpetuated brutal excesses, including the establishment of concentration camps; in the Croat-operated Jasenovac camp alone, it has been estimated that some 200,000 Serbs, Jews, Gypsies, and Croat opposition figures were killed.

		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.
