A worker puts up a poster of the ruling Croatian Democratic Union�s (HDZ) presidential candidate Andrija Hebrang in front of a poster of independent candidate Boris Miksic (R) in the southern Croatian Adriatic town of Split, some 350 kilometers from capital Zagreb, on December 18, 2009. Presidential elections in Croatia are scheduled for December 27, 2009. A total of 4.4 million people are eligible to vote in the elections, including more than 400,000 living abroad, mostly in neighbouring Bosnia and Hercegovina. If, as expected, none of the candidates secure more than 50 percent of the vote in the first round, a run-off will be held on January 10, 2010.
