Prime
Minister Zoran Milanovic’s center-left government said on Monday that
it would move ahead with a proposed bill to afford same-sex couples many
of the legal rights enjoyed by heterosexual couples, including hospital
visitation and inheritance rights, though the bill does not include the
right to adopt children.
Mr. Milanovic said he regretted that the referendum had even been held. “I think it did not make us any better, smarter or prettier,” he said.
The state electoral commission said that 66 percent of those who voted answered yes to the question, “Do you agree that marriage is matrimony between a man and a woman?” Turnout was relatively low, with about 38 percent of registered voters casting ballots. Analysts said the turnout suggested that the sluggish economy and 18 percent unemployment rate were more on Croats’ minds than gay marriage.

Sorry, never could stomach the whole "separate but equal" thing.
Just like here in the United States, it just smacks of second class citizen bullshit.
