                    Croatians Vote in Presidential Election

   by VOA News

   Voting is under way in Croatia's presidential election, with incumbent
   Social Democrat Ivo Josipovic tipped to win another five-year term.

   Croatia's 3.8 million eligible voters on Sunday are being asked to pick
   from four candidates vying for the largely ceremonial post.

   None of the candidates is expected to win more than 50 percent
   outright, setting up a runoff. Mr. Josipovic is expected to face
   conservative opposition candidate Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic in the
   runoff on January 11.

   The vote is seen as a test for the center-left government, which has
   faced criticism for its failure to revive the economy more than one
   year after Croatia joined the European Union. Croatia has one of the
   weakest economies in the bloc.
