Presidential elections in Croatia took place in two rounds in January 2005.
 This was the fourth such election since independence in 1991.
 It was the first presidential election held after the constitutional changes of November 2000, which replaced a semi-presidential system with an incomplete parliamentary system, thus greatly reducing the powers of the President in favor of the Prime Minister and his government cabinet.
 The incumbent president Stjepan Mesić, who had been elected in the 2000 election as the candidate of the Croatian People's Party, was eligible to seek reelection to a second term and ran as an independent because the Constitution of Croatia prohibits the President from holding party membership while in office.
Women of the Wall (Hebrew: נשות הכותל, "Neshot HaKotel") is a multi-denominational feminist organization based in Israel whose goal is to secure the rights of women to pray at the Western Wall, also called the Kotel, in a fashion that includes singing, reading aloud from the Torah and wearing religious garments ("tallit", "tefillin" and "kippah").
 Pew Research Center has identified Israel as one of the countries that places "high" restrictions on religion, and there have been limits placed on non-Orthodox streams of Judaism.
 One of those restrictions is that the Rabbi of the Western Wall has enforced gender segregation and limitations on religious garb worn by women.
 When the "Women of the Wall" hold monthly prayer services for women on Rosh Hodesh, they observe gender segregation so that Orthodox members may fully participate.
 But their use of religious garb, singing and reading from a Torah have upset some members of the Orthodox Jewish community, sparking protests and arrests.
 In May 2013 a judge ruled that a 2003 Israeli Supreme Court ruling prohibiting women from carrying a Torah or wearing prayer shawls had been misinterpreted and that Women of the Wall prayer gatherings at the wall should not be deemed illegal.

 Before the presidency, Weizman was commander of the Israeli Air Force and Minister of Defense.
