Croatia’s Constitutional Court has ruled that President Zoran Milanović can't run for prime minister or take part in the parliamentary preelection activities of an opposition party unless he resigns immediately from his current post
Croatian's president can't run for prime minister, take part in the upcoming parliamentary election or campaign in favor of an opposition party unless he resigns immediately from his current post, according to a ruling on Monday from the country's top court. President Zoran Milanović on Friday called a parliamentary election for April 17, but hours later announced that he would run for Croatia’s next prime minister on the list of the opposition Social Democratic Party.
“The president and the SDP party are obliged to act in accordance with this warning and stop violating the constitution,” he said, adding that the president is a nonpartisan figure, according to the constitution, and as such Milanović isn't allowed to take part in an election or campaign in favor of one political party.
