Croatia votes amid migrant crisis

Afp, Zagreb

Croatians voted in a general election yesterday with conservatives aspiring to return to power as the EU nation faces a wave of migrants and slowly emerges from six years of recession. Opinion polls predict a tight race between the ruling centre-left alliance, led by Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic's Social Democrats (SDP), and the rival conservative 'Patriotic Coalition', in Croatia's first parliamentary election since it joined the European Union in 2013. Neither camp is expected to win an outright majority.
