I didn’t even know Croatia was having elections. It seems like an odd time really.

But it does make it pretty weird. First round was held three days before Christmas, and the second was today.

 

Among other things, this caused second round debates to be held day before/after New Years.

That doesn't sound so overly weird, at least here 31 December is a perfectly normal working day even though for me personally it never feels like it

Is there anything we should know about the new president, or is it just business as normal in Croatia?
