franjo gregurić -lrb- ; born 12 october 1939 -rrb- is a croatian politician who served as prime minister of croatia from july 1991 to september 1992 .
gregurić was born in the zagorje village of lobor .
he attended the technical highschool in zagreb , and then the technical faculty of the university of zagreb .
his work experience included the chemical factories `` radonja '' in sisak , and `` chromos '' in zagreb , where he advanced to the positions of a technical director .
he then became a high-ranking official of `` astra '' , a large state-owned company from zagreb that exported to the soviet union , and gregurić worked in moscow for some time .
in the first democratic elections of 1990 , franjo gregurić entered politics as a member of the croatian democratic union .
in the second croatian government in 1990 he was a deputy prime minister .
on 17 july 1991 , he was appointed to the post of prime minister by president franjo tuđman .
when he took his post , croatia was in very difficult situation - its independence was not recognised by international community and croatia , unlike slovenia , lacked proper military infrastructure to resist krajina rebels backed by yugoslav people 's army .
only few weeks later , following couple of disastrous setbacks for nascent and inexperienced croatian military , his cabinet was reshuffled by introducing of members of other political parties represented in croatian parliament -lrb- with exception of croatian party of rights -rrb- .
this cabinet , later dubbed as `` government of national unity '' , was in charge when major combat operations in croatia ceased on 3 january 1992 , following un-sponsored armistice .
on 15 january 1992 croatian independence was recognised by major european countries .
this is hailed as the greatest achievement of gregurić 's cabinet , while gregurić himself enjoyed favourable reputation because of his mild manners and managerial skills .
his cabinet was often taken as a great example of national unity under difficult situation .
those achievements , however , must be taken into proper context .
foreign policy was in hands of franjo tuđman , while defence was in hands of gojko Šušak and military officials responsible only to president .
that left gregurić with more mundane tasks like issuing first croatian currency and setting up croatian air traffic control and other institution previously in yugoslav federal jurisdiction .
with war generally perceived to be over and with prospects of new elections , `` government of national unity '' began to fall apart .
in february 1992 his government proposed the laws offering territorial autonomy to ethnic serbs in krajina in exchange for their formal recognition of croatian sovereignty .
dražen budiša , one of government 's ministers and leader of croatian social liberal party , left the government in protest .
this was followed by representative of other parties who gradually left the government .
by the end of his term , cabinet of franjo gregurić again had members of only one party .
at parliamentary elections of 1992 , gregurić was elected as representative of hdz and remained in that party .
gregurić was later the president of the croatian firefighting association between 1993 and 2000 .
in may 2010 , gregurić was appointed the head of the supervisory board at institut igh .
