Meanwhile, an unbearable smell in Zagreb has led to health concerns, with investigations revealing elevated PM particles and nitrogen oxides, indicating poor air quality. In political news, the Social Democratic Party (SDP) is facing criticism amid a scandal involving Member of the European Parliament Romana Jerković, who is alleged to have used public funds for personal trips and lavish dinners. Football captain Luka Modrić has also made headlines, discussing a conversation with the Hajduk coach and anticipating a major Croatian derby.
