(ANSA) - BRUSSELS, SEPT. 28 - In Croatia, at the end of the first round of consultations with the political parties after the early elections held on September 11, the President of the Republic, Kolinda Grabar Kitarovic, could not confer any political leader the task of forming the new government, since post-election negotiations are still going on. It became clear today that a coalition between the conservative Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ), led by MEP Andrej Plenkovic, and the populist party Most (Bridge) is the most likely solution so far. Plenkovic almost certainly will be in charge of forming the government at the end of the second round of consultations, scheduled for October 10. Between the two potential coalition partners some points of the political programme still have to be defined and, moreover, an agreement on the division of the cabinet posts still has to be made. Unlike the previous government, which was also made up of HDZ and Most, but with a strong tendency towards the right, government led by Plenkovic - who made his party shift to more moderate positions - should also have the support of the deputies representing ethnic minorities, including the Italian one, with Furio Radin. Meanwhile, Kitarovic has called for parliament to convene for its 1st constitutive session on October 14. If negotiations between the HDZ and Most produce an agreement, Croatia will have a government within a month. In the elections held two weeks ago, the HDZ got 36.6% of the vote and a solid majority of 61 deputies out of 151 sitting in the parliament in Zagreb. (ANSA).
