Croatia's incumbent President Zoran Milanović is the overwhelming favorite to win reelection in the upcoming runoff presidential vote. Milanović comfortably won the first round of voting, leaving his main challenger Dragan Primorac and six other candidates far behind. The election comes as Croatia struggles with inflation, corruption scandals, and a labor shortage. Milanović, an outspoken critic of Western military support for Ukraine, is the most popular politician in Croatia and is sometimes compared to Donald Trump for his combative style. Despite limited powers, the presidency holds political authority and acts as the supreme military commander in Croatia.
