Croatians are heading to the polls today in a high-stakes parliamentary election that could redefine the nation’s political direction! 🗳️ Over 3.7 million voters will choose between 2,000+ candidates to fill the 151-seat parliament—think of it as Croatia’s version of Game of Thrones, minus the dragons but with plenty of drama. 😉
The ruling center-right Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ), led by Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic, is battling a coalition of centrist and left-wing parties backed by President Zoran Milanovic. Recent polls suggest HDZ could secure 60 seats—enough to lead but not to govern alone. Cue the suspenseful music! 🎶 Coalition negotiations are expected to kick off once results roll in later this week.
Polls opened at 7 a.m. local time, with exit predictions due after 7 p.m. Will Croatia stick with HDZ’s conservative policies, or swing toward Milanovic’s progressive alliance? Stay tuned—this political showdown is just heating up. 🔥
