ZAGREB, Croatia (AP) — A liberal incumbent faces a tough challenge from a conservative rival in Croatia's presidential runoff election that is held amid deep discontent over economic woes in the European Union's newest member.
The vote is expected to be close. In the first round two weeks ago current President Ivo Josipovic won 38.5 percent of the vote, just edging Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic with 37.2 percent. The runoff was called because neither candidate captured over 50 percent needed to win outright.
