Croatia NATO Referendum Petition Fails To Generate Enough Support
April 13th, 2008
Zagreb, April 13 (CP) – Croatian NGOs have failed to gather 450,000 signatures in favour of holding a referendum on Croatia’s joining of NATO.
Some 150,000 signatures were gathered during two weeks of the campaign.
The organisers are claiming they were low on money, the two-week deadline was too short to get enough signatures and the number of signatures that needed to be gathered was too big.
Analysts are claiming that the petition signing was not well organised and was not supported in the right measure by the media or prominent public figures.
Earlier, the PM Ivo Sanader said that a referendum on the issue might be considered if enough signatures were gathered.
