A hospital board has reappointed Dijana Zadravec as head of radiology, ignoring written protests from fifteen of her future colleagues. The move marks a return for the governing HDZ member, whose previous tenure ended after staff accusations of harassment. It is a reminder that in the public sector, a party card often carries more weight than a staff petition.
The judiciary remains busy with local and national figures. The mayor of Rešetari resigned immediately upon his release from custody, while former minister Gabrijela Žalac was denied bail on the grounds of her ongoing business interests. Separately, the government has announced a €1.7bn investment to modernize a railway network that has long functioned as a museum of mid-century engineering.
In more localized governance, the authorities in Osijek, Pula, and Split have decided to regulate the price of goods sold at their respective Advent markets. The move to cap stall prices suggests that even the Christmas spirit has its inflationary limits.
