A conservative populist has become Croatia's first female president after beating the centre-left incumbent in a runoff election amid widespread discontent over economic woes in the European Union's newest member.
The state electoral commission said that after about 97 percent of the vote was counted, Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic won 50.54 of the vote on Sunday, while President Ivo Josipovic had 49.46 percent.
