Intra-party elections Jadranka Kosor submits candidacy for HDZ president Jadranka Kosor submitted her candidacy for President of the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) at the party's head office in Zagreb on Saturday, saying that she expected a victory at the HDZ General Election Convention on May 20 and the election of Andrej Plenkovic as her deputy. The incumbent HDZ president was accompanied, among others, by Andrej Plenkovic, Vladimir Seks, Tomislav Ivic, Josip Djakic, Djuro Popijac, Djuro Perica, Djurdjica Sumrak and Miroslav Ciro Blazevic. "I want us to carry on with the same strength in fighting for the rule of law and against crime and corruption," Kosor said, adding that the HDZ was now in the opposition but that it would certainly come to power soon. Kosor said she wanted the HDZ to be led by "honourable people who have proved themselves in their work and who have given everything for Croatia and the HDZ and have taken nothing from them." "I want us to return to our roots, to the HDZ as a party of law-abiding, honourable and decent people, Croatian patriots." Kosor said she saw a special role for her party once Croatia became a member of the European Union, adding that the HDZ occupied a special place as a member of the European People's Party. When asked by reporters to comment on media reports that portrayed Tomislav Karamarko as a favourite, Kosor said that those were "media spins and behind-the-scene games" and that the HDZ needed a leadership that would be able "to stand peacefully and bravely" in front of its members and all Croatian citizens. Kosor said that the HDZ needed a president who had proved herself in fighting for the rule of law, economic recovery, and EU membership. When asked how she viewed the fact that she had lost support in some of her bastions, such as the Osijek-Baranja branch, Kosor replied that "the HDZ is my bastion."

Jadranka Kosor predala je danas u Središnjici HDZ-a svoju kandidaturu za predsjednicu stranke istaknuvši kako očekuje pobjedu na 15. općem saboru HDZ-a 20. svibnja, kao i izbor Andreja Plenkovića za svoga zamjenika U pratnji aktualne predsjednice HDZ-a uz ostale su bili Andrej Plenković, Vladimir Šeks, Tomislav Ivić, Josip Đakić, Đuro Popijač, Đuro Perica, Đurđica Sumrak te Miroslav Ćiro Blažević, koji joj je prije toga poslao buket crvenih ruža. 'Želim da jednakom snagom nastavimo borbu za pravnu državu, borbu protiv kriminala i korupcije', kazala je Kosor dodavši kako je HDZ sada u oporbi, ali će sasvim sigurno brzo doći na vlast. Istaknula je kako želi da HDZ vode ljudi koji su časni, koji su se dokazali u svome poslu te sve davali za Hrvatsku i HDZ, a od Hrvatske i HDZ-a nisu ništa uzimali. 'Želim da se vratimo korijenima - to znači HDZ, stranka poštenih, časnih i čestitih ljudi, hrvatskih domoljuba', kazala je Kosor. Posebnu ulogu stranke vidi u trenutku kada Hrvatska postane članica Europske unije jer, rekla je, HDZ u tome kao član Europske pučke stranke ima posebno mjesto. Na novinarski upit kako gleda na činjenicu da mediji Tomislava Karamarka proglašavaju favoritom, Kosor je odgovorila da treba 'pustiti spinove i tajne zakulisne igre', a da HDZ treba vodstvo koje 'može mirno i hrabro stati' pred svoje članove i sve hrvatske građane. Također, smatra Kosor, HDZ treba predsjednicu koja se dokazala u borbi za pravnu državu, gospodarski oporavak i europsku Hrvatsku. Upitana kako gleda na činjenicu da je izgubila potporu u nekim temeljnim ograncima u Osječko-baranjskoj županiji, koji su bili njezina utvrda, Kosor je odgovorila da je 'njezina utvrda HDZ'. Na pitanje boji li se ičega, rekla je da se ničega ne boji pa ni podmetanja, podvala, ucjena ili prijetnji.
