Nikica Valentić
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nikica Valentić (born 1950) is a Croatian politician.
Before being involved in politics, Valentić was high-ranking official of INA, the Croatian state petrol company.
On April 4th 1993, as member of Croatian Democratic Union, he was appointed by President Franjo Tuđman to the post of Croatian prime minister. He served in that position until November 4, 1995.
A few months after taking office his cabinet de-valued the Croatian currency Croatian dinar, stopping the inflation and bringing some sort of economic stability to Croatia for the first time after the start of war. In June 1994 the Croatian dinar was replaced with kuna.
In 1995, during his term in office, Croatian military and police conducted Operation Storm which would ultimately lead to end of war in Croatia and neighbouring Bosnia and Herzegovina.
After his term expired, he served as a member of Croatian Parliament.
