About Hrvoje Šarinić

  • Hrvoje Šarinic (pronounced [xr?^?oje ?arinit??]; 17 February 1935 – 21 July 2017) was a Croatian politician who served as the Prime Minister of the Republic of Croatia from 1992 until 1993. Šarinic was born in Sušak, Rijeka and graduated from the University of Zagreb then-Faculty of Architecture, Construction and Geodesy.Šarinic had a business career in Paris, France.
  • He was a dual citizen of both Croatia and of France, as he spent 24 years in France, from 1963 to 1987.
  • After the first democratic elections in Croatia, he joined the government of Franjo Tudman and became head of his personal office.After the parliamentary elections of 1992 he, as member of Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ), was appointed to the post of prime minister.His cabinet, like all in Tudman years, was less concerned with foreign policy and war and more with domestic issues.
  • One of those issues was privatisation of state-owned companies.
  • During his time many of the most controversial events of that process took place, including the now infamous takeover of Slobodna Dalmacija in early 1993.By that time Croatian economy continued to decline, Šarinic himself became immensely unpopular and even his native Primorje-Gorski Kotar County rejected HDZ at local elections in February 1993.
  • All that, together with escalating war in Bosnia-Herzegovina, led Tudman to replace him with Nikica Valentic in April 1993.Šarinic was not demoted, however.
  • He continued to serve as Tudman's close advisor and was, for a while, head of Croatian security services.He remained in public spotlight because of his diplomatic missions and frequent negotiations with Slobodan Miloševic.
  • After one of those missions he created great deal of controversy by claiming that one of the results of former Yugoslav wars should be "little Greater Serbia".In 1995, he was the government's official representative in the Erdut Agreement. In 1998, Šarinic publicly criticized high-ranking HDZ politician Ivic Pašalic and – after Tudman sided with Pašalic – resigned from his post.
  • In 2000 he joined and was briefly active with the newly formed Democratic Centre.Šarinic died on 21 July 2017 in Zagreb at the age of 82.He was buried at Mirogoj, Zagreb, five days after his death, on July 26, 2017.
