The Reformists party will support the Social Democratic Party candidate Zoran Milanovic in the forthcoming presidential election, scheduled for December 22, party leader Radimir Cacic announced on Saturday.

The decision was made by the party’s presidency and confirmed by its main committee at a meeting in the northern spa town of Varazdinske Toplice on Saturday.

The meeting was attended by delegates from across the country who agreed on activities that the party would undertake during the election campaign, such as displaying posters of support for Milanovic.

As “a sign of the party’s strength and the party’s support,” Cacic said that the Reformists would collect 20,000 signatures for Milanovic, 10,000 more than he is required to submit for his presidency bid.
