Ivica Račan: 1944-2007

Ivica Račan, founder of the Social Democratic Party of Croatia and Croatian Prime Minister 2000-03, has died. A national day of mourning has been declared in Croatia, although the funeral will be strictly a family affair rather than a state occasion.

Obituaries from Jutarnji list, Davor Butković, Mladenka Šarić, Milan Jajčinović, and Index.

UPDATE: No national day of mourning after all.
