Croatia’s fallen Orešković government was a messy but healthy experiment in democracy.
The Croatian government collapsed earlier this month, with new elections expected by September. As Višeslav Raos writes, the hung parliament that emerged from the last elections in November 2015 resulted in a decidedly unorthodox government coming to power, headed by an independent PM and two Vice-PMs from two different parties. He argues that this episode indicates that Croatia is no longer obsessed with stability, and can now allow itself the luxury of having a dynamic and therefore healthier – though no doubt more chaotic – party system.
