` ::::*Nonsense. Yes of course there were constitutional amendments in July but those occurred all the time in the previous 45 years, they are hardly a relevant turning point of some sort. When I mentioned constitutional changes I was referring yo the new constitution, which might be taken as a relevant date. And no, the office of prime minister was not ``established`` in the summer of 1990, it was merely renamed, or I should say the government was renamed, the only change instituted with the amendments was that the ``President of the Executive Council`` now became the ``President of the Government``. ::::*That is purely your own judgement. The point of the matter is that democratic amendments were instituted by the Sabor (``communist functionaries``) before Mesic came to power. And that his position was not elective, but appointed - by Tudjman. ::::  `
