Andrej Plenković has been officially appointed as the prime minister-designate following consultations with the president of Croatia. Plenković, who leads the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ), is set to form the new government after securing the necessary support in the country’s recent elections.
In his role as prime minister-designate, Plenković will now work on forming a coalition government, aiming to bring together a stable majority in the Croatian Parliament. His priorities include strengthening the economy, promoting social welfare, and guiding Croatia through ongoing challenges, including its role in the European Union and handling the impact of the global health crisis.
Plenković has already outlined his vision for the future, emphasizing the importance of continuing reforms, enhancing Croatia’s international standing, and focusing on economic recovery. His appointment comes after his party’s strong performance in the elections, positioning him as the leading figure to take on the prime ministership once again.
As he assembles his cabinet, Plenković is expected to engage in discussions with other political parties to form a government that can address the country’s most pressing issues. The new administration will need to navigate complex political and economic challenges, with a particular focus on post-pandemic recovery and the promotion of Croatia’s interests on the European stage.
