Milanovic appeared to make the announcement off the cuff, after being asked by reporters when he would declare his candidacy.

Croatia’s populist President Zoran Milanovic announced Wednesday his plans to seek re-election for the largely ceremonial post this year, weeks after losing a bid for the premiership against his conversative rival Andrej Plenkovic.

“I will need it for a number of reasons, including organisational support and to prevent theft,” he said.No other politicians have announced their candidacies.In recent years, he has employed more populist rhetoric in public and regularly launches attacks against critics and rivals as well as European Union officials.He regularly tops popularity surveys in Croatia, amid criticism for using profanity in speeches and interviews.

Earlier this year, he shocked the nation by announcing plans to challenge Plenkovic during parliamentary elections even while sitting as president.Milanovic had previously served as premier from 2011 to 2016.
