  • The candidate of a leftist-green coalition Tomislav Tomasevic was elected Zagreb mayor Sunday, overwhelmingly defeating his right-wing rival in a runoff vote, near-complete official results showed. Tomasevic won more than 65 percent of the vote beating folk singer Miroslav Skoro, according to results from almost all polling stations. He will succeed longtime Zagreb mayor Milan Bandic, a popular but controversial politician, who died in February of a heart attack. Bandic, who ruled the Croatian capital for more than two decades, had been trailed by scandal for years including several corruption charges and investigations. Tomasevic, a prominent activist, is seen as symbolic of a new generation of Croatian politicians without ties to either of two main political parties. Since Croatia's 1991 independence from Yugoslavia, power has been traded between the ruling conservative HDZ party and the main opposition Social Democrats. Tomasevic, 39, campaigned with pledges to eradicate cronyism and the "corruption octopus" in the capital. He has pledged to make the capital "more green, more just, more efficient and more transparent". The coalition led by his Mozemo (We Can) party won 23 seats in the 47-seat city assembly in nationwide local elections two weeks ago. Tomasevic first ran for mayor in 2017 but only won four percent of the vote. He became an MP when his Mozemo party made its parliamentary debut last year. One of his main challenges will be the reconstruction of the old part of the city and its downtown area, both badly damaged in a quake in March last year. He we will also have to tackle Bandic's legacy including the city's huge administration and murky business deals, analysts say. But critics argue that Tomasevic and his associates the lack experience and will be unable to implement promised changes. ljv/nrh/pvh
