Mr. Miksic's chance to be elected

The fact that Mr. Miksic was not allowed to present his views on Croatian HTV and most newspapers until the very last days certainly had much to do with his third position. Considering that among the many candidates, who are much better known, he achieved the third position is surprising and encouraging enough. Croatia needs to be cleaned up of former communists like Mesic and many officials in the leading HDZ party as well as other
parties, then in a democratic state, where the media is not run by the Government, by "former" communists in every party and Yugonostalgics, we can hope that men like Mr. Miksic get a better chance to be elected president.

Posto gosp. Miksic nije dobio sansu (ili bolje receno dozvolu) da se pretstavi biracima na HTV i u vecini novina sa svojom agendom za Hrvatsku do samih zadnjih dana pred izborima, svakako je bio veliki dio razloga da je dosao istom na trece mjesto. Ali ako se uzme u obzir da je dosao na trece mjesto uz tolike druge kandidate, koji su mnogo bolje poznati, onda je to ipak iznenadjujuce i ohrabrujuce. Hrvatsku se mora ocistiti od prijasnjih
komunista kao Mesic i mnogih visokih funkcijonera u vodecoj HDZ stranci, kao i u drugim strankama, te samo onda u jednoj demokratskoj drzavi u kojoj media nije u rukama Vlade, ni u rukama "prijasnjih "komunista u svakoj stranci i jugonostalgicara, moglo bi se nadati da osobe kao gosp. Miksic dobe bolju sansu da budu izabrani za pretsjednika.
