Local elections were held in Croatia on 7 February 1993. This was first local elections in Croatia after declaration of independence and breakaway from Yugoslavia.

On February 8, 2013, the 20th anniversary of the first local elections was held in the organization of the Umbrella Association of Local Self-Government (Kolos), under the auspices of Croatian President Ivo Josipović. Josipović assessed that the first local elections in wartime showed that democratic development could not be stopped. [1]

Electoral system

Regional and local self-government elections are conducted in such a way that half of the members of county, city and municipal councils are elected through a joint list covering the entire local self-government unit, and the condition for the distribution of seats is an electoral threshold of 5%. The other half through individual constituencies. If two or more candidates receive the same number of votes, the election shall be repeated in that constituency. According to the law, in the first elections, municipal councils elect 16 councilors, city councils 26 councilors, county assemblies 40 councilors and the City Assembly of Zagreb 60 members. [2] City and municipality mayors as well as county prefects are elected by the city, municipality and county council. [3]

The politics of Croatia are defined by a parliamentary, representative democratic republic framework, where the Prime Minister of Croatia is the head of government in a multi-party system. Executive power is exercised by the Government and the President of Croatia. Legislative power is vested in the Croatian Parliament. The Judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature. The parliament adopted the current Constitution of Croatia on 22 December 1990 and decided to declare independence from Yugoslavia on 25 May 1991. The Constitutional Decision on the Sovereignty and Independence of the Republic of Croatia came into effect on 8 October 1991. The constitution has since been amended several times. The first modern parties in the country developed in the middle of the 19th century, and their agenda and appeal changed, reflecting major social changes, such as the breakup of Austria-Hungary, the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, dictatorship and social upheavals in the kingdom, World War II, the establishment of Communist rule and the breakup of the SFR Yugoslavia.
