In Croatia, political tensions have escalated within the ruling coalition after HSLS leader Dario Hrebak threatened to withdraw from the coalition if Domovinski pokret MP Josip Dabro remains. In response, Dabro has indicated his willingness to leave the parliament but under certain conditions. HSLS MP Darko Klasić has publicly stated that the party supports the banning of communist symbols, which aligns with Dabro's conditions for leaving the coalition. However, an official stance from HSLS will be made in the coming days.

Prime Minister Andrej Plenković responded to the situation during a press conference from India, asserting that he does not accept any ultimatums related to the coalition's composition or its decisions. He emphasized the importance of maintaining stability and unity in the government while navigating these internal disputes. The discussion around the banning of communist symbols in Croatia is particularly significant, highlighting ongoing debates about the country’s past and its political identity.

The implications of this political drama extend beyond party lines, as the banning of such symbols could stir further division among various political factions and the public. As Croatia grapples with its historical legacy, the resolutions surrounding these demands will likely impact the future dynamics of governance and coalition politics in the country.
