Zlatko Kramarić

Zlatko Kramarić (born 5 February 1956 ) is a Croatian liberal politician from Osijek.

Kramarić was born in Osijek and graduated in philology (Macedonian literature) at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb. Later he obtained a master's degree and a doctorate from the same faculty.

In the 2003 Croatian parliamentary election, Kramarić was reelected to Parliament, on a joint electoral list of LS, SDP and LIBRA.

In 2004 Kramarić opposed the merger of LS into Croatian People's Party. Because of that he orchestrated the removal of LS leader Ivo Banac, who was replaced by Kramarić's long-time associate Zlatko Benašić.

In the spring of 2005, Glavaš embraced regionalism and left HDZ, taking few of Sabor representatives with him and making government majority of Ivo Sanader precariously thin. Kramarić immediately volunteered to help Sanader extinguish this threat and offered LS support in Parliament. This didn't reflect very well on local electorate, which abandoned LS in May 2005 local elections. In June 2005 Kramarić's attempts to create broad anti-Glavaš coalition failed when Glavaš sided with Croatian Party of Rights. Glavaš supporters took Osijek-Baranja County while Anto Đapić became mayor of Osijek, thus replacing one of the longest-serving elected officials in recent history of Croatia.

In 2005, Kramarić started merger negotiations with the Croatian Social Liberal Party, and the Liberal Party re-joined HSLS in early 2006. He became the leader of the HSLS parliamentary club. He was not reelected in the 2007 Croatian parliamentary election.

In December 2008, Kramarić became the first ambassador of Croatia to Kosovo. One of his columns published in a local newspaper in 2010 caused a minor incident with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. From 2011 to 2015 he was the Croatian ambassador to the Republic of Macedonia.

Kramarić is married and a father of one.
