Ivica Racan – Man of integrity

The Party of European Socialists today mourns the loss of Ivica Racan, the Leader of the Croatian Social Democrats.
Ivica Racan played a key role in the break-up of the old Yugoslav Communist Party and later kept the torch of democracy alight, as Leader of the Opposition, during the rule of nationalist, President Franjo Tudjman.
