PROFILE OF CROATIA'S PRESIDENT MESIC

ZAGREB, Feb 18 (Hina) - Croatia's President Stjepan Mesic was born

in the eastern Croatian town of Orahovica on 24 December 1934. He graduated from the Faculty of Law at Zagreb University. He is married with two children. Mesic has two grandchildren as well. Mesic was a prominent student leader and a deputy to the Sabor of the then Socialist Republic of Croatia. After taking part in the 1971 Croatian Spring movement he was jailed for one year in the notorious Stara Gradiska prison. In 1990, he became the Secretary of the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) and the Prime Minister of the first Government of the Republic

of Croatia. Under a decision of the Croatian Parliament (Sabor), Mesic became a

member of the then collective Presidency of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY), and was the President of that Presidency until 5 December 1991 when he resigned from that duty. Until the second elections in Croatia since the country won independence, he was the HDZ executive committee's chairman, and elected as President of the Croatian National Sabor in 1992. Being unsatisfied with the policy of the HDZ party, he left it in 1994 and set up the political party called Croatian Independent Democrats (HND). He was dismissed from the office of the Sabor President. In 1997 Mesic and a part of the HND membership joined the Croatian People's Party (HNS) and he was the HNS executive vice president until last Tuesday when he was relieved of duties in the political party following his election as Croatia's President. He possesses a family flat and garage in Zagreb and has his car - Golf.
