Source-derived summary

Elections were held in Osijek, Croatia, on 16 and 30 May 2021 for the 49th Mayor of Osijek, the two deputy mayors and the 31 members of the Osijek City Council, as part of the 2021 Croatian local elections.

The incumbent mayor, Ivan Vrkić, announced on 11 July 2020 that he will not run for another term.

This was the third direct election for the mayor of Osijek (simultaneously held with elections for all other county prefects and mayors in Croatia) since the popular vote method was introduced in 2009, as previously those officials had been elected by their county or city assemblies and councils.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as open-knowledge reference entry. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q112762613. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2021, 2020 and 2009.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
