I did not read it like that. Seems like a pretty neutral article to me, mostly listing facts about both of them.

Despite the HDZ’s backing, Primorac has been unable to rally the party’s base behind his campaign.

I feel like even HDZ does not want Primorac to win. For one, he was kicked out of the party in 2009 (the article does not mention that). Also, if HDZ does not win the presidential election, they have more leverage for being re-elected in the more important parliament elections.

The link returns 404.

I’m not too thrilled about Milanović staying as he tried to quit so he can run for prime minister, which is pretty disrespectful of the presidential office. That said, there is no way I will vote for HDZ and Primorac.

Might just skip this one.
