Croatia is bracing for a potentially historic protest in Zagreb, dubbed 'Walk for Lika, Walk for Croatia,' which is set to take place tomorrow. Organizers are revealing details and expressing concerns about the massive turnout expected to protest the ongoing waste crisis in the Gospić area. Prominent politician Nikola Grmoja has declared it will be the largest demonstration in the nation's history, with musician Damir Urban also calling for public support.
Adding to the domestic concerns, Croatian banks are facing a significant 'billion-euro problem,' which has led the Croatian National Bank (HNB) to introduce stricter lending measures, making it more challenging for citizens to obtain loans. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Defence is undertaking substantial military modernization, including the acquisition of missile systems and upgrades to Rafale fighter jets.
Other new developments include criticism of the state's inadequate support for mothers caring for disabled children and ongoing frustrations over delays in the Vukovar Street construction project in Zagreb. In a lighter note, Johnny Depp and Alice Cooper delivered an electrifying concert in Zagreb.
