The trial of Zvonko Vrban, once a powerful court president, opened today on charges that he pressured judges to rule according to his wishes. It is a busy morning for the legal system: the Ministry of Defense has lost a lawsuit over a military drone, leaving taxpayers with a bill of more than 600,000 euros.
The rhetorical gap between the country's two highest offices remains wide. Orsat Miljenić, the President's chief of staff, has accused Prime Minister Andrej Plenković of destroying the legal order, suggesting the Prime Minister should seek to change the constitution if he finds ultranationalist ideology acceptable.
Commuters in Split and Kaštela found their roads turned into rivers after severe flooding caused cars to 'swim' on the highway. Meanwhile, the labor ministry is explaining new rules that could allow employees to demand a raise if they discover they are paid less than their peers for the same work.
