Recall

In Croatia, on December 30, 2024, after 100% of the votes were counted in the first round of the presidential election, the head of the country, Zoran Milanović, also won.

As Politico wrote, during his election campaign, President Milanović sought to capitalize on a series of scandals that led to the resignation or dismissal of over 30 ministers from Prime Minister Andrej Plenković's party due to corruption during his mandate.

He also criticized Plenković for his pro-European stance, calling him a "lackey" of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and called immigration the main problem of Croatia.
