Nearly all the candidates got votes in this poll carried out in Zagreb`s Podsljeme quarter.

ZAGREB, CROATIA – Even in Zagreb`s Podsljeme quarter, incumbent mayor Milan Bandic of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) has the biggest support in the opinion poll regarding the upcoming Zagreb mayor election. However, Jasen Mesic of the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) has more support than independent candidate Josip Kregar.

Who Will Be Zagreb Mayor – We Asked 1,700 Voters

Therefore, out of 100 surveyed Podsljeme residents of Zagreb`s most Northern part, 40 support Milan Bandic, six would vote for Jasen Mesic, while six would vote for Josip Kregar. Interestingly enough, Antun Kljenak of the Croatian Party of Rights (HSP) got one vote and three citizens supported independent candidate Tatjana Holjevac.

Zlatko Klaric`s name was mentioned only once, but it seems that not even this vote will be cast for the Action of Social Democrats of Croatia – Democratic Pensioners` Party candidate, because Klaric`s supporter will be out of town on election day, as he put it himself.

Who did the citizens support? (100 surveyed)

9 - Jasen Mesic
6 - Josip Kregar
3 - Tatjana Holjevac
2 - Miroslav Rozic
1 - Antun Kljenak
16 - indecisive
3 - themselves
12 - nobody
8 – will not vote

There are still many indecisive voters

As it is to be expected, there are plenty of voters who still have not decided whose name they will circle at the election – 16 of them.

- I will come to the polling station and chose according to the “Eeny, meeny, miny, mo” method. The name of the current mayor, Milan Bandic, is most likely to come out according to this method – Jelena Cica, a tailor from Markusevec told us.

Still, it seems that this is the right time for electoral campaigns, because indecisive citizens are waiting to be won over.

- I will vote for whoever gives most – Marija Kos, a textile worker, said.

- I`d love to lock them all up in prison – pensioner Miljenko Carevic told us, who will not vote because he is disappointed with politics and politicians who “steal and lie”.
