🧨 Explosives

A major police operation in Split has resulted in the seizure of a ton of raw materials for amphetamine production and explosive ingredients from a 36-year-old man. This significant bust involved multiple locations and has been widely reported by news outlets across the country. Economists are warning that the period of substantial salary increases is over, citing a stalled economy and high uncertainty. New reports reveal that only 30 percent of Croatian workers earn more than €1700 per month, with half earning less than €1346, and every fifth worker receiving minimal pay despite overall GDP growth. The Croatian Institute of Public Health has released 2025 figures indicating that two specific disease categories are responsible for nearly two-thirds of all deaths in Croatia. Meanwhile, discussions continue regarding the legality of the Dinamo stadium decision, with historian Neven Budak asserting it was made correctly, while diplomat Mirko Galić and sociologist Dragan Bagić commented on the involvement of the government and Zagreb.
