SUBJECT: GORDAN JANDROKOVIC, CROATIA'S NEW FOREIGN MINISTER 
 
REF: A. ZAGREB 24 
 
     B. ZAGREB 18 
 
1. (U)  In a new Croatian government that consists largely of 
too familiar faces (reftels), perhaps the most important new 
face, certainly for U.S. engagement with Croatia, belongs to 
new Foreign Minister Gordan Jandrokovic.  From 2004 to the 
present, Jandrokovic was chair of the Croatian parliament 
(Sabor) Foreign Affairs Committee, and as a member of 
Croatia's National Committee on NATO Membership.  Prior to 
that he had served as chair of the Sabor Committee on 
Economy, Development and Reconstruction from his initial 
election to the Sabor in late 2003.  During his Sabor term, 
he has been a frequent and good Embassy contact, and 
participated in a May 2004 International Visitor Program for 
newly-elected Sabor members. 
 
2. (U) Born in 1967, Jandrokovic started his professional 
career in 1989 in construction business, while still studying 
civil engineering (1986-1991).  At the same time he pursued a 
degree in political science (1989-1993), whereupon he joined 
the Croatian Foreign Service.  His area of expertise was the 
neighboring countries, central and eastern Europe.  He has 
been a member of the ruling Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) 
party since 1992.  He is currently a member of its national 
Presidency, as well as Chair of the party's chapter in 
Bjelovar-Bilogora County.  From 1997 to 2000 he ran the 
office of then deputy foreign minister (now HDZ Prime 
Minister) Ivo Sanader.  During the Racan government 
(2000-2003), when the HDZ was out of power at the national 
level, Jandrokovic left the Foreign Service to work as a 
manager in the private sector, in Zagreb and his native 
Bjelovar.  Elected to the Sabor in 2003 as an HDZ 
representative, Jandrokovic ran unsuccessfully for Mayor of 
Bjelovar in 2005 against his local rival Djurdja Adlesic of 
the Croatian Social Liberal Party (HSLS), who has now become 
his coalition partner and one of four deputy prime ministers 
in the same cabinet. 
 
3. (U) Jandrokovic speaks good English, and his official bio 
says he has a passive knowledge of Italian.  He is married 
and father of three children. 
 
4. (SBU) During the 2007 parliamentary elections, Jandrokovic 
was given a prominent role in the election campaign - the 
HDZ's generational answer to the emergence of his former 
diplomatic colleague and similarly youthful Zoran Milanovic 
as president of the opposition Social Democratic Party (SDP). 
 He was tasked by Sanader to make some of the more personal 
attacks against Milanovic, and put in a solid performance as 
an effective campaigner, leading some media commentators to 
characterize him in ways ranging from a Sanader "yes" man to 
the "rough young lion" of the HDZ.  In Post's experience he 
is a close associate of Sanader, young, well-spoken, and 
ambitious yet affable.  He has faithfully toed the party line 
as chair of parliament's foreign policy committee, and has 
been solid on issues like NATO, the EU, Kosovo and regional 
stability, but was not overly activist or one to stray far 
from his talking points.  We expect him to maintain this 
profile as FM.  In that sense, he does not represent a 
dramatic change from out-going FM Grabar-Kitarovic -- a 
foreign ministry protege of Sanader tasked to implement 
government priorities as FM. 
 
5. (SBU) Like Grabar-Kitarovic, some officials such as 
President Mesic's diplomatic advisor Budimir Loncar, fear 
that Jandrokovic's relative youth and inexperience will limit 
his effectiveness both within the government and 
internationally.  Our assessment is that his experience in 
domestic elective and party politics (something his 
predecessor did not have) may give him somewhat sharper 
elbows than she had for enforcing his will both within his 
ministry and in the cabinet.  At the same time, he should 
still be able to present a similarly polished and dynamic, 
although just as youthful and bit more brash, image of 
Croatia to the outside world.
