ZAGREB, 21 July, 2021 - Homeland Movement acting president Mario Radić said on Wednesday he would lead the opposition party until intra-party elections in the autumn but that he would not run for president who, he added, would be a person who brought people together and had a winning mentality.
Miroslav Škoro on Tuesday tendered his irrevocable resignation as leader of the Homeland Movement.
Radić said that although Škoro's resignation "has surprised many... it was first of all a highly moral act," a demonstration of responsibility to the party's members, sympathisers and voters.
He said he was glad that Škoro decided to stay in politics and contribute to the party's and especially national interests, both as a deputy parliament speaker and a member of the Homeland Movement.
