Opposition expected to win Croatian vote (AP)

ZAGREB, Croatia ? Croatians are voting in an election that is expected to unseat the conservative government ahead of the country's entry into the European Union.

The vote Sunday for Croatia's 151-seat parliament pits the governing center-right Croatian Democratic Union, or HDZ, against a coalition of center-left parties that has led recent opinion polls.

The winner is likely to lead Croatia as it gears up to join the EU in July 2013 as its 28th member.

The conservatives have ruled Croatia since its 1990s war for independence from the former Yugoslavia, except for 2001-2003, when the center-left coalition took over.

But HDZ has been embroiled in a corruption scandals that have diminished its chances of winning Sunday.
