Croatia Elects Social Democrat Josipovic as President
Source: VOA

Official results show that the candidate of the opposition Social Democrats has won the second and final round of Croatia's presidential elections. Ivo Josipovic will replace the popular Stipe Mesic, who served the legal maximum of two terms.

Party supporters have been celebrating since it was announced by the Social Democrats that their candidate, Ivo Josipovic, won Croatia's presidential elections.

The Croatian Electoral Commission says he received about 60 percent of Sunday's vote. That is more than had been predicted.

Many voters apparently appreciate his pledge to tackle corruption and re-establish trust in courts, police and politics.
