Croatian's Happy With Their New President

Sixty-eight percent of Croatians are satisfied with their new president Ivo Josipovic two months into his term, according to the findings of marketing research agency GfK.

The survey of 1,000 people showed that a majority of contented citizens are concentrated in the north of Croatia, in Istria and in Slavonija. The 19 percent who are not satisfied with Josipovic live mostly in capital Zagreb and Dalmatia.

The president enjoys large support among those older than 55 (80 percent) and those with higher educations (75 percent), the Croatian daily Vecernji List has reported.

Josipovic was elected in January with 60.3 percent of the popular vote.
