Croatia's incumbent President Zoran MIlanović, a critic of the European Union and NATO, has overwhelmingly won another five-year term on Sunday, defeating a candidate from the ruling conservative HDZ party in a runoff vote, near-complete official results showed.

Milanović won 74.6% of the vote while his challenger Dragan Primorac gained around 25.3%, according to the results released by Croatia's state election authorities after more than 99% of the ballots were counted.

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