Ante Gotovina Rules Out a Run for President

Retired Croatian General and national hero Ante Gotovina, who had been mentioned as a possible presidential candidate in the next elections in Croatia, has confirmed he will not be running for office…

Speaking to media in Biograd na Moru, where he was to celebrate the town’s official day, Gotovina said that he stands by his earlier statements where he indicated that he will concentrate on his tuna farming business and will not be making a presidential run. Current President Ivo Josipović told media recently that if Gotovina would run, that with the climate in the country at the moment how it was, he would probably win.
