Current Zagreb Mayor and independent candidate Milan Bandic said that he is convinced that he will be able to win in the first round of elections. “Do not talk about a second round, because I believe that the Croatian people are wise enough, and it is possible that there will not be a second round,” Bandic said. Independent candidate Nadan Vidosevic was equally as confident. “I will disinherit all those that disinherited my country so that a child born tonight is already in debt EUR 10,000. This is a referendum, or it will be a fight for this child that was born tonight to be freed, or we will get tied up in phrases that will lead us far from the future,” Vidosevic said.
