	SignOnSanDiego.com > News > World -- Croatian president forced into runoff as he seeks a second term
		His opponent, Jadranka Kosor, a minister of families and war veterans in the ruling conservative Croatian Democratic Union-led Cabinet, was trailing far behind with 20.18 percent.
		But Kosor is a close ally of Prime Minister Ivo Sanader, whose Croatian Democratic Union returned to power a year ago and has distanced itself from its nationalists to become a European-style conservative party.
		Kosor is a Cabinet minister and many saw the election as a referendum on the 1-year-old government, represented by her candidacy.

	ISN Security Watch - Croatian incumbent wins presidential poll
		Kosor, by contrast, accused Mesic of having betrayed Croatian soldiers, referring to his campaign for full cooperation with the UNâs Hague-based International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and his support for the extradition of Croatian army officers indicted for war crimes committed during the 1991-1995 war.
		Despite Croatia's official policy of "full cooperation" with the tribunal, ICTY chief prosecutor Carla del Ponte in November told the UN Security Council that some Croatian officials were suspected of assisting retired Croatian General Ante Gotovina, indicted for war crimes by the ICTY and considered a fugitive since 2001, in evading arrest.
		Despite the defeat of HDZ candidate Kosor, Croatian Prime Minister and HDZ head Ivo Sanader said the poll still showed the partyâs strength, suggesting that Mesicâs victory was largely due to the fact that the HDZ candidate was a woman.

	ISN Security Watch - Croatian incumbent leader faces runoff vote
		Kosor, the first female to run for Croatian president, is a close ally of Prime Minister Ivo Sanader, the leader of the HDZ.
		Kosor said she strongly believed that Croatian citizens were âmature enoughâ to elect a female president.
		During the pre-election campaign, both Mesic and Kosor had declared their commitment to Croatiaâs European integration, but the two failed to hold a public debate on the issue, and Croatian media largely described the presidential campaigns as lackluster.

		She added that she feels Croatia is ready for a woman president and that she is confident she would win in the second round of the election.
