🗳️🔥 Croatia’s election drama continues as top candidates face off in a high-stakes political showdown!
In a nail-biter first-round vote, incumbent President Zoran Milanovic secured 49.1% support—*just shy* of an outright win—while challenger Dragan Primorac trailed with 19.35%. Now, the two will clash again on January 12 for Croatia’s top job. 🌟
Milanovic, backed by the opposition Social Democratic Party, vowed victory to supporters: \"In two weeks, we’ll celebrate!\" Primorac, a scientist-turned-politician pitching himself as a 'unifier,' called the runoff a \"historic chance for change.\" 💬
The election comes as Croatia battles inflation and labor shortages. With the president’s role spanning foreign policy and military oversight, this runoff could reshape the EU and NATO member’s future. 📉⚖️
Who’ll win? Grab your popcorn—this political thriller isn’t over yet! 🍿
