Croatia Narrowly Elects First Female President

Croatia has elected its first female president after opposition challenger Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic scored a narrow victory, securing little more than 50 percent of the vote, defeating incumbent Ivo Josipovic in an election that sees Croatia shift right after six years of a center-left coalition. In her victory speech Grabar-Kitarovic said it was "a glorious night for all Croats."
