Karolina Vidović Krišto (born 29 December 1975) is a Croatian journalist and politician. She is the leader of Determination and Justice, which she founded in 2022.[1] From 2020 to 2024, she was a member of the Croatian Parliament, elected on the list of Miroslav Škoro Homeland Movement, but since late 2020 an independent representative.[2] In November 2024, she announced her candidacy for president of Croatia in the 2024 presidential election.[3]
She gained further attention for a defamation lawsuit she filed against Zagreb Pride after being nominated for their satirical "Homophobe of the Year" award in 2013 after comparing homosexuality to pedophilia on her show on HRT.[4] Lower courts ruled in her favor, awarding her approximately €5,240 in damages in 2015.[5] However, in 2024, the Constitutional Court overturned these decisions, ruling against Vidović Krišto and affirming that the nomination was protected as freedom of speach.[6]That same year, she announced her candidacy for president in the 2024 presidential election, but failed to collect enough signatures to ensure nomination.[7]
