Croatia is seeing a new wave of public discontent, with a major protest planned in Zagreb today to support the people of Gospić and the wider Lika region, following earlier concerns about waste-permit disclosures. This comes as citizens are also expressing outrage over new demands from the Tax Administration for payment of disputed taxes, marking an escalation of previous warnings.
In a related political development, the ruling Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) has accused Zagreb Mayor Tomislav Tomašević of neglecting a long-standing 'environmental bomb' near a vital water source, a move seen by some as an attempt to shift focus from the planned protests. Meanwhile, Zagreb is grappling with a public health concern as West Nile Virus has been confirmed in seven individuals, prompting a large-scale mosquito control operation across the city.
Other domestic news includes a fatal traffic accident in Zagorje, a Dutch national rescued from Biokovo mountain, and the commencement of a trial for a brutal murder in Zagreb after 27 years. In sports, Hajduk secured its third consecutive victory, while a former fan favorite transferred to Dinamo Zagreb. On a positive note, Zagreb has launched a unique 'Little Free Libraries' project across the city.
