Franjo Tudjman

The mayor of Croatia's capital Zagreb, Milan Bandic, has signed a contract to design a 3.5 meter tall statute of former Croatian President Franjo Tudjman.

"The statue will be installed in the meadow on the corner of Grada Vukovara and Hrvatske Bratske Zajednice streets," Bandic announced, index.hr reported.

In addition, the mayor has decided to call a competition to build monuments dedicated to the Holocaust, and to the homeland.

The Croatian website published the report under the headline, "Tudjman, Holocaust, Homeland: Bandic raising monuments around Zagreb like crazy."
