Born in 1937. Former Deputy Leader of the Croat Government.

He participated in the session of the Radical Party Federal Council held from 19 to 22 September 1991 in Rome. It was the period in which the political situation in the former Yugoslavia was worsening and exploding in disorder and fighting, which foreshadowed, more and more clearly, the civil war that was to follow, but which Europe refused to acknowledge. The Federal Council was immediately convened to discuss this tragic international crisis right after the failed coup in the former Soviet Union. Zdravko Tomak, having been sent to the session of the Federal Council so that he could publicly denounce the grave situation in his own country, joined the Radical Party on the last full day of Congress.

"Friends and Comrades, today I have seen with my own eyes, I have heard, listening to you, how to fight for the freedom, independence and rights of my people. We all come from different countries, and yet I have seen how important it is in today's society to unite two processes: on the one hand, the battle for the independence, self-determination and freedom of every people and, on the other hand, the need for all peoples to unite and form an international society. What democratic public opinion in Europe and the world has done so far has been something very superficial, and anyway insufficient. This is even more true after the Twelve unanimously agreed that Serbia and its Federal Army are Croatia's aggressors. It is a war between democracy and dictatorship. If Europe continues to sit and watch without taking any action, you can be sure that these armed forces will grow, and will perhaps be responsible for taking us to the threshold of a Third World War: the fall of Yugoslavia is not limited to relations between Serbs and Croats, but also includes the problems of the countries in the Balkans and in Eastern Europe generally. Europe's calmly continuing to sit and watch when relations between countries in another part of the world are resolved with force is akin to allowing violence to prevail. I have not only joined your Party to thank you for what you have done today, what you have done up until now and what you are presently doing and intend to do in the future for my people's freedom, but also because, as a member of the Radical Party, when it is a question of upholding civil rights in another country, I can happily feel it my duty to mobilize all the forces in my country, to do as you have done.
