Croatia's PM promises reform, growth after power struggle


ZAGREB (Reuters) - Croatia's Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic, fresh from winning a power struggle in his Social Democratic Party, pledged on Monday to pursue reforms and revive the battered economy in the remaining 18 months of his term.

But analysts said his success in expelling former Finance Minister Slavko Linic from the party on Saturday was a Pyrrhic victory and voiced doubt about his ability to enforce reforms in the country, which joined the European Union last July.
