Croatian presidential election, 1992: Information from Answers.com (648 words)
First Presidential elections under new 1990 Constitution of the republic of Croatia, held 1992 by popular vote.
The Constitution was adopted in December 1990, but the elections could not be held due to escalating armed conflict between Croatian government and Krajina rebels, backed by Yugoslav federal army.
When the elections were called, Croatia was internationally recognised, but roughly one of third of its territory was occupied by Krajina forces, while Croatia itself was involved in war raging in neighbouring Bosnia-Herzegovina.
