Poul Nyrup Rasmussen, President of the Party of European Socialists, said “Ivica Racan was a good and genuine leader, a man of enormous integrity and honesty, who served his country and his party with unquestionable loyalty. Despite his momentous contribution to the creation of a democratic Croatia he was a humble man, completely without any pretension. You could always be sure that you could talk freely and sincerely with him, and that any agreement you made with him was an agreement. His death is a big loss for Croatia and for social democracy in Europe. He will be sorely missed.”
