(ANSA-AP) - ZAGREB, 2 OCT - Croatian President Kolinda Grabar
Kitarovic has formally announced she will run for a second term
during a presidential election expected to be held by the end of
the year. Grabar Kitarovic on Wednesday said she has backing
from the ruling Croatian Democratic Union party to seek
re-election.
The conservative incumbent's opponents include former
left-wing Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic and Miroslav Skoro, a
popular singer who joined the race to govern the European
Union's newest member.
Early surveys have indicated that none of the candidates will
win more than half of the votes needed for an outright victory
and a runoff is likely. The date of the election is yet to be
set. Croatia joined the EU in 2013. (ANSA-AP).
