(ANSA-AP) - ZAGREB, DECEMBER 23 - Near-complete results from
Croatia's tight presidential election showed that the
conservative incumbent will face a liberal former prime minister
in a runoff vote after no candidate won an outright majority on
Sunday.
With nearly 90% of the ballots counted, state election
authorities in Croatia reported that left-wing politician Zoran
Milanovic led the first round of voting with nearly 30% support.
President Kolinda Grabar Kitarovic had almost 27%, followed by right-wing singer Miroslav Skoro in third place with around 24%.
The vote was held just days before Croatia takes over the Europ ean Union's presidency for the first time. (ANSA-AP).
