In Croatia, a difficult government formation is looming after the parliamentary elections, which could also result in a shift to the right. Although Prime Minister Andrej Plenković’s conservative HDZ party remained the strongest force, it fell short of an absolute majority. On Thursday, Plenković did not rule out a coalition with the third-placed right-wing nationalist party Domovinski Pokret (Homeland Movement). „We will talk to those who are willing to talk,“ he told Croatian media in response to a question on the sidelines of the EU summit in Brussels.
