Croatia votes for new president as incumbent Milanovic leads in polls
Hindustan TimesCroatians went to the polls Sunday to elect a new president, with the outspoken incumbent Zoran Milanovic appearing to be the favourite in opinion polls. During the campaign the two main rivals often traded insults, with Milanovic ridiculing Primorac as boring and as "fake as a 13-euro note". That prompted Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic to label him a pro-Russian who is "destroying Croatia's credibility in NATO and the EU". A physician and scientist who returns to politics after 15 years, Primorac repeatedly accused Milanovic of "disgracing Croatia", a claim that resonated with many voters. Barbara Sente Ocvirk, 36, told AFP she was not "satisfied with the way our current president is representing us in Croatia and abroad" and believes his main rival would do better.
