With nearly all of the votes counted, left-leaning Mr Milanovic won 49% while his main challenger Dragan Primorac, a candidate of the ruling conservative HDZ party, trailed far behind with 19%. Pre-election polls had predicted that the two would face off in the second round on January 12, as none of the eight presidential election contenders were projected to get more than 50% of the vote. Mr Milanovic thanked his supporters but warned that “this was just a first run”. “Let’s not be triumphant, let’s be realistic, firmly on the ground,” he said. “We must fight all over again. It’s not over till it’s over.” Mr Milanovic, the most popular politician in Croatia, has served as prime minister in the past. Populist in style, the 58-year-old has been a fierce critic of current Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic and continuous sparring between the two has been a recent hallmark of Croatia’s political scene. Mr Plenkovic has sought to portray the vote as one about Croatia’s future in the EU and Nato. He has labelled Mr Milanovic “pro-Russian” and a threat to Croatia’s international standing. “The difference between him (Mr Primorac) and Milanovic is quite simple: Milanovic is leading us East, Primorac is leading us West,” he said. Though the presidency is largely ceremonial in Croatia, an elected president holds political authority and acts as the supreme commander of the military. Mr Milanovic has criticised the Nato and European Union support for Ukraine and has often insisted that Croatia should not take sides. He has said Croatia should stay away from global disputes, thought it is a member of both Nato and the EU. Mr Milanovic has also blocked Croatia’s participation in a Nato-led training mission for Ukraine, declaring that “no Croatian soldier will take part in somebody else’s war”. His main rival in the election, Mr Primorac, has stated that “Croatia’s place is in the West, not the East”. However, his bid for the presidency has been marred by a high-level corruption case that landed Croatia’s health minister in jail last month and which featured prominently in pre-election debates. Trailing a distant third in the pre-election polls is Marija Selak Raspudic, a conservative independent candidate. She has focused her election campaign on the economic troubles of ordinary citizens, corruption and issues such as population decline in the country of some 3.8 million. Sunday’s presidential election is Croatia’s third vote this year, following a snap parliamentary election in April and the European Parliament balloting in June.

PHOENIX — The Dallas Mavericks have more clarity about their franchise player’s latest injury. Luka Doncic will be re-evaluated in 30 days after suffering a left calf strain on Christmas Day, a person familiar with the injury confirmed to The Dallas Morning News. ESPN’s Shams Charania was first to report Doncic’s latest recovery timeline. Doncic sustained the injury in the second quarter of Wednesday’s loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. He initiated a stepback midrange jumper, but felt a sense of discomfort when he planted his left foot onto the court. He hobbled to the locker room and had to leave the arena on crutches. Doncic was scheduled to receive an MRI on Thursday to evaluate the severity of the injury. The Mavericks will enter familiar territory after Doncic’s latest injury. They’ve performed well without him in the lineup with a record of 6-2. Doncic’s re-evaluation date will fall on Jan. 27, which means he will miss the Mavericks’ next 17 games. He has already missed eight games this season due to various injuries, including a right knee contusion, a left heel contusion and a right wrist sprain. Doncic missed the Mavericks’ training camp and preseason with a left calf contusion. Doncic is averaging 28.1 points, 8.3 rebounds and 7.8 assists in 22 games this season. ©2024 The Dallas Morning News. Visit dallasnews.com .
