Zoran Milanovic, the current President of Croatia, is reportedly leading in polls as citizens vote for their next leader. Although he is expected to surpass his rivals, Milanovic is likely to fall short of the 50% vote threshold needed for an outright win, prompting a runoff election on January 12. Conservative candidate Dragan Primorac of the HDZ party is also projected to qualify for the second round. Initial election results are anticipated later on Sunday.
