Croatia will receive members of the new government today, after the parliamentary elections in which HDZ won the most mandates, but not enough to form a new government without coalition partners. As expected, negotiations with the Homeland Movement began, and to whom the Ministry of Tourism would belong was actually not in question, because tourism was not the primary focus of DP.

HDZ actually kept all the old ministers except for Nikolina Brnjac, who will most likely continue her career in the European Parliament. After numerous guesses and speculations, on Thursday afternoon, HDZ representative and president Andrej Plenković submitted to the Croatian Parliament the proposal of the members of the Government as well as the program for the next four years. 

On the pages The names of the new members of the Croatian Parliament have been announced Governments to be voted on by the Croatian Parliament today. He will be nominated for the new Minister of Tourism Tonči Glavina. 

Tonči Glavina has been the state secretary in the Ministry of Tourism and Sports since 2017 and is a well-known name in the tourism sector. The most important thing is that it is a professional person who lives tourism privately and professionally. 

By the way, it is interesting how this function was rarely mentioned in the media, even though it is a country whose GDP depends heavily on tourism. I also wondered during the election campaign how it was possible that tourism was mentioned so little in the programs of political parties. We haven't heard much even in the mainstream media about the questioning of the plans for tourism - as if it is not one of the most important, if not the most important, branch of the economy of Lijepa naše.

Numerous names leaked into the public space, but only one was repeated over and over again. The profession won

Of the names that circulated through the mainstream media, it was his name that resonated among the profession.

His appointment was expected four years ago, when Nikolina Brnjac, who was less known to the tourist public until then, was appointed. 

A new one was established yesterday 11th convocation of the Croatian Parliament, and today, on the proposal of the new old Prime Minister Andrej Plenković, the Croatian Parliament should give confidence to the new leaders of the ministries in the new, third HDZ Government.
