Croatia heads to a presidential runoff this Sunday, with incumbent Zoran Milanovic facing CDU candidate Dragan Primorac. While the presidency is largely ceremonial, Milanovic’s term has been marked by government clashes, giving the election broader political significance.
Croatia is gearing up for the second round of its presidential election this Sunday, with incumbent Zoran Milanovic facing Dragan Primorac, the candidate from the ruling Croatian Democratic Union (CDU).
Milanovic, supported by the opposition Social Democrats, narrowly missed an outright win in December, securing 49.1% of the vote. His opponent, Primorac, garnered 19.35%, representing the CDU’s bid to retain influence in the country’s political landscape.
While the role of president in Croatia is largely ceremonial, Milanovic’s tenure has been defined by tensions with the government over key issues, including foreign policy and corruption. These disputes have made his presidency more prominent than usual, attracting both praise and criticism.
Political analysts suggest Milanovic is well-positioned to secure re-election, given his strong performance in the first round and widespread support among opposition voters. However, Primorac’s campaign could still present a challenge as the ruling party seeks to consolidate its base.
The runoff is expected to offer voters a clear choice between continuity under Milanovic and a fresh approach from Primorac, with the outcome likely shaping Croatia’s political discourse in the years ahead.
