ZAGREB (Reuters) - Croatia's conservative ruling party will seek a parliamentary election during the summer depending on the evolution of the coronavirus outbreak, one of its top officials said on Tuesday.

Branko Bacic, head of the Croatian Democratic Union's (HDZ)parliamentary group, told reporters that could be in June, July or August. "We want the epidemiological conditions to be conducive for organising the elections," he said.
