How is the prime minister of Croatia chosen?

In Croatia, the prime minister is chosen through a formal nomination and confirmation process. The president of the republic is responsible for nominating the candidate for prime minister, who must then be confirmed by the Sabor (parliament).1

Typically, the individual selected for this role is the leader of the political party that holds the majority in the Sabor. Following their confirmation, the prime minister serves as the head of government, a role that gained significant authority following constitutional amendments in 2000 that reduced the previously broad powers of the president.1
