Croatian Presidential election: 22 Dec 2019 1st Round

Didn't found a thread about this. Croatians are going to the polls to elect, or reelect, a new President. The race is very, very close, according to polling, between the current President, Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović, former SDP Prime Minister, Zoran Milanović, and anti-system candidate, Miroslav Škoro:

The 1st round will be held today, 22 December, and a second round on 5 January 2020. The second round polls are also very close between the 3 main candidates.

I would imagine that Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović would be quite popular. Anyone has any insight in Croatian politics? I believe that Škoro may be damaging her prospect, while Milanović is holding up the SDP core voting bloc.

Turnout is up. Could reach 50% in the first round.
