Zoran Milanovic won just under 50% of votes in the first round of Croatia's presidential elections, setting up a runoff against conservative rival Dragan Primorac.
Primorac and his HDZ party accused Milanovic of being 'pro-Russian,' contrasting their conservative stance with Milanovic's criticism of Western support for Ukraine.
Despite winning the first round with 49.11% of the votes, Milanovic's failure to secure over 50% triggers a two-week election runoff against Primorac.
Croatia's president, while influential in foreign policy and military matters, primarily delegates executive powers to the parliament-elected prime minister.
