Croatia's parliamentary election pits PM against country's president

In the upcoming parliamentary elections on Wednesday, Croatian citizens will be electing a new parliament and prime minister. According to previous polls, incumbent Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic had been favored to win. However, he is now facing competition from President Zoran Milanovic, who is considered a Kremlin-friendly left-wing populist. The two leaders have engaged in intense campaigning leading up to the election. It is important to note that while all articles mention Plenkovic and Milanovic as major figures in the election, they provide slightly different perspectives on the strength of the opposition and the issues facing Croatia. Some articles mention corruption as a major issue in the election, while others focus on inflation and labor shortages.
