A significant anti-corruption operation by USKOK and the police is underway today, with arrests being conducted in Zagreb, Split, and Kaštela, targeting an alleged criminal organization. This comes as Minister Tomislav Ćorić faces accusations of deliberately hindering the European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) in its criminal investigations, with a Social Democratic Party (SDP) Member of Parliament, Miroslav Marković, claiming the government is bureaucratically slowing down EPPO cases.
Separately, a salmonella outbreak originating in Italy has led to over 130 hospitalizations, and contaminated cherry tomatoes have been found on the Croatian market. Meanwhile, Zagreb is experiencing severe traffic congestion, with kilometer-long queues and paralyzed transit reported across the city.
In a positive development, archaeological findings in a cave overlooking the Adriatic Sea have provided evidence of a significant turning point in human history.
