Croatians vote for new president

Croatians are electing a new president, with the poll seen as a test for the main political parties.
Apart from the incumbent president Ivo Josipovic, supported by the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and another parties in the ruling coalition, the other three candidates are diplomat and former minister Kolinda Grabar Kitarovic of the strongest Opposition party -- the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) --, gastroenterologist Milan Kujundzic, supported by "the Alliance for Croatia" consisting of the parliamentary HDSSB party and a few nonparliamentary parties and political activist and the youngest candidate in Croatia's presidential polls so far, Ivan Vilibor Sincic, 25, supported by civil society organisation "Human Barrier".
 If none of the four candidates wins more than 50% of the vote, there will be a runoff in two weeks time.
