Ivo Baldasar (born 5 August 1958) is a Croatian politician who served as Mayor of Split from 2013 until his resignation in March 2017.

Baldasar spent his early career working as a lawyer within the tourism industry, concentrating mainly on maritime business.

[4] Some news reports suggested that after the commander of the Battalion ended his speech with Za dom spremni, the gathered crowd clapped, with Baldasar allegedly, reluctantly doing the same.

[6] He later defended his actions explaining that the members of HOS were anti-fascists in a way, because they fought against a new form of fascism during the Croatian War of Independence.

This was decided in order to prevent Baldasar from running again as mayor because his controversial stances have gained him unpopularity in the city.
