Croatian website Index is reporting that Blazevic told RTL why he made this decision:
"Somebody has to start behaving positively, so let it be me. I'm the right person for this ad and I don't care about negative comments."
Blazevic added that "nobody can contest his patriotism and what he has done for Croatia" - but stressed that he is now "the right man to lead by example that we must not hate, but should tolerate each other."
Pupovac said: "We have gained a lot thanks to his support, but I think that our entire society has gained a lot with his gesture. And that's why I particularly appreciate it."
He is a angel [link] and sings very good and is known as Michael Buble of Croatia. Then again Michael Buble the crooner has Croatian heritage makes perfect sense.

A brave and courageous gesture by Blazovic. Unfortunately, he will now receive death threats, his family will be intimidated and he will face hardships in the future for taking this stance. The radical Ustasha-leaning population in Croatia is too numerous for someone with common sense like Blazovic to make a difference. Too bad.
