A new parliament will be elected in Croatia on April 17. President Zoran Milanović has set this election date for a Wednesday.
The decision to schedule the election for mid-week is reportedly surprising. As a rule, elections in Croatia take place on Sundays, although the law only stipulates that election day must be a day off. Because April 17 is a Wednesday, it is legally a non-working day.
The legislative period normally ends in July
The Croatian parliament voted to dissolve on Thursday, paving the way for parliamentary elections in the spring. The four-year legislative period would normally end at the end of July.
The last time the Sunday date was deviated from was the parliamentary elections of January 3, 2000, when the elections took place on Monday.
