Next election: Croatia

On January 22, Croatian voters go to the polls. At stake is their membership in the EU. Croatia suffers jitters over joining troubled EU
Opinion polls predict a "Yes" vote of up to 60 per cent on Sunday, paving the way for Croatia to become the first of the ex-combatants from the Balkans wars of the 1990s to join the Euro-club. That fact alone is a matter of satisfaction to some, pleased that their immediate neighbour and former enemy Serbia has yet to be officially accepted even as an official candidate for EU membership. Montenegro, Macedonia and Iceland are ahead of Serbia in the queue.

As the above paragraph shows, the linked article is focused on the concerns of the minority.
After Croatia, the next big election is the Russian presidential election on March 4.
