Croatia's highest court has ruled that President Zoran Milanovic's decision to run for prime minister in the upcoming parliamentary election is incompatible with his current role as head of state. The court's decision effectively bars Milanovic from participating in the election, campaigning in favor of an opposition party, or running for prime minister unless he resigns from his presidency immediately. Milanovic has criticized the court's ruling, accusing it of obstructing the will of the people by preventing his participation in the election.
