Live from SDP HQ - Zagreb

Readers of this blog will be aware of the training work that TCC has done with the SDP in Croatia on message development and political communications. Our Managing Directors, David Evans and Jonathan have worked with the SDP for a number of years to help with the organisational development of the party.

Today it is is General election day in Croatia and the culmination of years of work by the hardworking team at SDP HQ. By this evening the SDP under the dynamic leadership of Zoran Milanovic and with a strong prime ministerial candidate in Llubo Jurcic, will hopefully be celebrating an historic victory.

I am very honoured to blogging live from SDP HQ in Zagreb having been along to a polling station this morning to see the voting.

If "Making Democracy Work" means anything, watching the quiet determination of the voters of Zageb to exercise their right to vote is a moving experience.

Earlier this year the the previous SDP leader Ivica Racan died. I was also privileged to meet him shortly before that. A SDP victory tonight would be a fitting tribute to the work of Racan as well as ushering Croatia into a new future.
