🤢 Waste

Croatia is grappling with escalating environmental concerns as a new illegal landfill has been discovered in Obrezina, sparking an investigation into Tomislav Marjanović. This comes alongside a report detailing 14 major hazardous waste sites nationwide and government plans to address them. The broader issue of waste management continues to draw significant attention. In a separate development, a firm owned by Vice Mihanović faces scrutiny over a public contract that saw its price increase just five days after being awarded. This adds to ongoing discussions about political integrity and transparency. Meanwhile, a disturbing video has emerged showing the Neretva River running red with blood, prompting outrage and calls for action. Politically, Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and Deputy Prime Minister David Vlajčić has taken a firm stance against individuals who engage in destructive behavior and celebrate aggression against the country, signaling a strong government position on such actions. Internationally, Croatian media is closely following developments regarding the Nepal disaster, the CIA chief's visit to Moscow, and the ongoing war in Ukraine.
