Croatians Choose New President in Run-Off Vote

World News Update by EQUITIES Magazine

Croatia will have a new president in a run-off vote between Ivo Josipovic and Milan Bandic.

 

Josipovic of the Social Democrats (SDP) garnered 32.44 percent of the vote, more than double the score of former party colleague turned independent Bandic, who took 14.84 percent, results from nearly all polling stations showed.

 

Some 4.4 million Croatians, including more than 400,000 living abroad, are eligible to choose a president to lead the country into the EU amid deepening economic crisis and concerns over high-level corruption.
