00:00What worries me the most is that we are such a people that we just whine, we are never

00:10satisfied with anything or anyone, and that's what annoys me the most.

00:15Our country should be organized, fair, that we are satisfied, not just whine that nothing's

00:20fine.

00:25I won't vote.

00:27I voted in the first round, now I won't.

00:31Well, honestly, these elections are pretty certain.

00:35It's not that I'm worried about anything.

00:38I think the situation in Croatia is the way it is.

00:42I don't know how much influence the president has on it.

00:46As far as I'm concerned, I think the president should be elected by parliament, and not in

00:51direct elections.

00:53So I don't think I don't consider the role of the president the figure of the president

00:57to be so important.

00:59I think the most important thing for people is to improve their standards, of course,

01:04and I think Croatia has taken a big turn to the right.

01:08I would like it to return somewhere, at least to the center, if not a bit more to the left.

01:16We don't have any other good choice, so, Milanovic.

01:20I honestly didn't bother too much with anything, but I'm going to vote, I'll just cast one

01:24vote and that's it.

01:26Future Croatia should have better wages, that's for sure, because everything is too expensive

01:31here, so if someone just fixed that, our standard of living would immediately increase and life

01:36would be better for all of us in Croatia.

01:40Until now, everything was more worrying, what could be expected at all, but we're still

01:45in the best and we don't lose hope, but we'll see how it will turn out at the end.

01:50We'd like to have more jobs, so our people would leave the country less, to have more

01:54for our citizens, for the children, for hospitals.

01:58In principle for citizens to have the faith in the one they vote for.
