ZAGREB (Reuters) - The Head of Croatia's conservative HDZ party, the biggest in a collapsed centre-right coalition, resigned on Tuesday after failing to form a new cabinet.

"I promised the party that I will be able to form a new parliamentary majority, which I failed to achieve," Tomislav Karamarko said.
