Prime Minister Andrej Plankovic's conservative party, the Croatian Democratic Union, won the parliamentary election against the leftist coalition led by President Zoran Milanovic. But the conservative party, NDZ, fell short of an absolute majority in Wednesday's election, heralding a period of political uncertainty for the country.

The Conservatives won 61 seats in the 151-seat parliament. This is a decrease of five votes compared to the last parliament.

Even with a positive result, Prime Minister Andrej Plankovic's ruling party will need support from far-right groups to stay in power.

"Starting tomorrow morning, we will begin to form a new parliamentary majority to form our third government. I want to congratulate the other parties that were defeated by HDZ", said Andrej Plankovic, Prime Minister of Croatia.

For the leader of the social democrats, the dissatisfaction is clear, but they say that they will test the new government if it keeps its promises to fight corruption.

"Tomorrow, talks will begin with those who until yesterday said that they will not support the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) and that they will no longer tolerate a corrupt and degraded Croatia. And now it is the duty of each of us to demonstrate to the Croatian people whether the words spoken during the campaign were just fabrications and deceptions or whether it was the truth behind the real desire for change", said Pedja Grbin, Chairman of the Social Party - democrats.

Albanians remain without MPs

So far, the Albanian deputy of several legislatures in the Croatian parliament, Ermina Lekaj Prljaskaj from the Union of Albanians in Croatia has not managed to secure the mandate of the deputy.

Armin Hodzhič, candidate of the National Coordination of Bosniaks in Croatia, has won the mandate of deputy and will represent the five national minorities in the Croatian Parliament. Hoxhic received the votes of 3 thousand 328 voters, while Lekaj Prljaskaj, 2 thousand 239 voters. Hoxhic will represent the Albanian, Bosnian, Montenegrin, Macedonian and Slovenian national minorities.

High voter turnout

Voter turnout approached a record level, as it was 61.83%. The parliamentary election was seen as a popularity test for Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic and his party, which has dominated politics since Croatia's independence. The results could also affect major policies, including how the Croatian government views the conflict in Ukraine and relations with the European Union. Plenkovic supports Ukraine, but the opposition does not.

Plenkovic's party had hoped for greater support from the citizens due to Croatia's membership in the EU during the time of this party's government, the introduction of the euro and success in the field of tourism. But many are tired of the numerous scandals of this party, but also of the economic situation in the country as Croatia remains one of the poorest in the EU.
