When discussing politics, news, or civic affairs, use the conclusive discourse marker prema tome to explain the logical result of a situation.
Literally "according to that," prema tome functions like "accordingly," "therefore," or "consequently." It is a formal way to draw a conclusion based on established context and typically sits at the beginning of the concluding sentence.
| The institutions are closed today. Accordingly, we cannot work. | Institucije su danas zatvorene. Prema tome, ne možemo raditi. |
Because of its formal tone, prema tome is common in journalism and politics to explain the fallout of parliamentary decisions, party standings, or new laws.
| This party does not have a majority in the parliament. Accordingly, new elections are possible. | Ova stranka nema većinu u parlamentu. Prema tome, mogući su novi izbori. |
| The representatives want to adopt sanctions. Accordingly, the system will change quickly. | Zastupnici žele usvojiti sankcije. Prema tome, sustav će se brzo promijeniti. |
| The representatives are not in the parliament. Accordingly, we cannot adopt the law. | Zastupnici nisu u parlamentu. Prema tome, ne možemo usvojiti zakon. |
It is also used to outline the necessary response to a crisis or serious threat:
| Corruption can endanger the state. Accordingly, the government must resign. | Korupcija može ugroziti državu. Prema tome, vlada mora dati ostavku. |
| The enemy wants to endanger stability. Accordingly, the parliament must adopt this law. | Neprijatelj želi ugroziti stabilnost. Prema tome, parlament mora usvojiti ovaj zakon. |
