Interesting comment from before the 2nd round of voting took place —

In #Croatia, the incumbent president, Zoran Milanovic, won the presidential elections.

He was noted for his constant criticism of arms supplies and spending money on #Ukraine. He is considered to be close in views to #Hungarian PM Orban and #Slovak PM Fico.

Populist incumbent sails to victory in Croatia presidential election

Pro-Moscow candidate Zoran Milanović secures a second term after winning runoff by almost 3:1 margin.

TOM NICHOLSON for POLITICO.EU

Croatian President Zoran Milanović celebrated a commanding victory in the runoff round of his country’s presidential election Sunday. “[It] is over, look at the scoreboard!” he told supporters at his election headquarters in the capital Zagreb.

Milanović defeated his opponent, Dragan Primorac, the candidate of Prime Minister Andrej Plenković’s HDZ party, by securing more than 74 percent of the vote. Milanović had long been the favorite to win the election and came just shy of an outright majority (on 49.1 percent) in the first round on Dec. 29.

In his victory speech, Milanović promised to uphold the constitution but warned that “those who want to accumulate everything for themselves” had been sent a message by voters. He vowed to continue to exercise the military and foreign policy powers the presidency is afforded, acknowledging “that requires cooperation.”
