Croatia elects leftist challenger Zoran Milanovic as president
Croatia's presidential election has been won by centre-left challenger Zoran Milanovic, who defeated the nationalist incumbent.
The social democratic ex-prime minister vowed to heal divisions, and said his victory had brought "hope and faith".
Mr Milanovic beat Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic - a conservative who won the presidency in 2015 - by 53% to 47%.
Croatia's president has a role in foreign policy and security matters but the prime minister runs the country.

Has to be good news. The fewer nationalists around for Trump to buddy up with, the better.
