Petar Bašić

Petar Bašić is a young politician from the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) who recently became the mayor of Brodski Stupnik, a small municipality in Croatia. He achieved this position in May 2025 after a successful campaign in the local elections, marking a significant personal milestone after a previous attempt in 2021. His victory is particularly notable as it fulfills a political ambition his father, Tomislav, had in 2009, thus continuing a family legacy in local governance. However, Petar now faces a challenging situation due to a long-standing legal dispute involving his parents and the municipality.
