ZAGREB, 29th December, 2024 (WAM) -- Polling stations across Croatia opened at 0600 GMT on Sunday to elect the country's new president, a mainly ceremonial office, in a race where candidates from the two biggest parties are the main contenders, Reuters reported.
Around 3.8 million Croats are eligible to cast votes for one out of a total of eight candidates, three of whom are women.
Incumbent President Zoran Milanovic will run for a second term. His main challenger is Dragan Primorac, a former science minister backed by the governing Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ).
The election will go to a second round if none of the candidates wins a majority of the vote.
