 Up until this point, the various heads of state wielded far less real executive power than the Prime Ministers.Since 1990, the President of the Republic of Croatia ("Predsjednik") is directly elected to a five-year term and is limited to a maximum of two terms.However, with the constitution of 2001, the powers of the President (much expanded in 1990) were now again severely curtailed, as Croatia shifted from a semi-presidential system, to an incomplete parliamentary system.
