Stjepan Mesic, born December 24th 1934, served as the second President of Croatia from 2000 to 2010 and Speaker of the Croatian Parliament from 1992 to 1994. He became Prime Minister of Croatia in 1990, was the last President of the Yugoslavian Presidency, and was Secretary General of the Non-Aligned Movement in 1991.
Political Career[edit]
Initially elected deputy of the Croatian Parliament in the 1960s, President Mesic came back to politics in 1990 when he joined the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ), being appointed Prime Minister after the party’s electoral success. In 1991, he served as Vice President of the Yugoslavian Federal Presidency and, following this, as the last president of Yugoslavia. Following its dissolution, he served as Speaker of the Croatian Parliament from 1992 to 1994 after leaving the HDZ and in 1995 he founded the Party of Croatian Independent Democrats (HND) before the majority of its members merged into the Croatian People’s Party (HNS) in 1997. In 1999 he was elected President of Croatia, serving two terms from 2000 to 2010. President Mesic topped the polls for the most popular politician in Croatia during his two terms.
Education[edit]
Stjepan Mesić graduated from the Law Faculty of the University of Zagreb in 1961.
