# Milanović wins a second presidential term with more than 74 percent

Date: 2025

## The fact

On 12 January 2025 [Zoran Milanović](/people/zoran-milanovic) won Croatia’s presidential runoff against Dragan Primorac. Associated Press recorded official results of more than 74 percent to nearly 26 percent.

## Context

Dragan Primorac is unresolved. [Andrej Plenković](/people/andrej-plenkovic) is an unresolved WAVE H TARGET. Reuters recorded that the presidency cannot veto laws but has a say in foreign policy, defence and security. ukraine-war is not attached.

First round 29 December 2024; runoff 12 January 2025. Store the runoff. Keep Milanović wins a second presidential term with more than 74 percent on 2025-01-12 separate from neighbouring 5 May 2022 third-entity line, 29 December 2024 first round, 12 January 2025 runoff, and 1 July 2026 army clash.

The President of Croatia is head of state with a say in foreign policy, defence and security. He does not sit as the Sabor, as DIP, as the Chief of the General Staff, or as the European Commission. A 12 January 2025 runoff is not authorship of every later HDZ scandal. A Bosnia statement is not a completed Dayton amendment unless a court or gazette so holds on its own row.

## Evidence and sources

Associated Press carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is the completed second-term lock of a polarising dual executive, not a Ukraine-war row.

## What is established and what is not

Established: The 12 January 2025 runoff elected him with more than 74 percent, as recorded by AP.

Not established: A unique later cohesion coefficient, or that the runoff already settled the 1 July 2026 army clash.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Voters and DIP completed the result. Primorac ran. Plenković did not sit as DIP.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Milanović wins a second presidential term with more than 74 percent, not a later speech about Milanović wins a second presidential term with more than 74 percent.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Milanović wins a second presidential term with more than 74 percent on 2025-01-12 is not a licence to treat every later Associated Press communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Milanović wins a second presidential term with more than 74 percent into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He was the candidate. Voters and DIP completed the result. Primorac ran. Plenković did not sit as DIP. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
