The Conservatives have won the referendum held in Croatia on Sunday to ban same sex marriage. There was over 65 percent of those who backed the initiative by a non-government organisation In The Name of Family (U ime obitelji) to include in Constitution marriage was a union of a man and a woman. Over 33 percent of people were against the initiative at the referendum on Sunday. The referendum was also seen as a political loss of the ruling leftist coalition that openly supported to vote "against". The referendum has also worried the citizens that thought spending 48 million Croatian kuna for this purpose was not necessary at the moment when the country has over 356,000 unemployed people.
