Network of Croatian “referendum-fighters” did not succeed in collecting signatures of the 10% of the electorate (450.000 signatures) instead they have achieved a significant victory for democracy:

• 125.000 signatures collected
• 3.000,00 euros spent
• 138 places for signing in 84 cities
• collection of signatures in 6 other countries
• over 600 volunteers (equivalent of 30.000,00 euros in working hours)

The Network now stands fast at their demands:

1. Holding a referendum on NATO in Croatia.
2. Change of the referendum law - lowering of the 10% to 2’5% signatures and prolongation of the 15-days period to 30-days (similar to Hungary and Slovenia). Plus of course the removal of the demand for the ID numbers at the signature.
3. Start of a procedure to establish true number of voters (yes, until now the officials “can’t tell” exact number).

Great display of the democratic attitude!
