CROATIA’S opposition-backed President Zoran Milanovic, a critic of the European Union and Nato, overwhelmingly won re-election for another five-year term on Sunday.

Mr Milanovic defeated Dragan Primorac from the ruling right-wing party in a run-off vote, winning the largely ceremonial presidency with more than 74 per cent of the vote to 26 per cent, official results showed.

The result presents a major boost for Mr Milanovic, who is a critic of Western military support for Ukraine in its war against Russia.
