Croatia’s left-leaning president is running for re-election this weekend against an array of contenders, including the candidate backed by the conservative government.

An outspoken critic of Western military support for Ukraine in its war against Russia, President Zoran Milanovic is seen as a favorite ahead of the presidential election on Sunday, although he is unlikely to score an outright victory.
