Draxblog reported in detail about the outcome of the election in Croatia, here, here, here , here, here and here (wow). All in all, the HDZ lost much influence throughout the country, with barely more than a third of the people going to the ballots at all. In Knin, the turnout resulted in a day of revelation for Sanaders HDZ. The Serbian minority, represented by the SDSS, won 8 out of 17 seats, but instead of forming a coalition with them, Sanader's HDZ chose right wing parties, which in the end might disrupt Croatia's path into the European Union. The issue with General Gotovina, low public participation in politics, anti-EU right-wing parties gaining ground... difficult times for Croatia indeed.
