The cabinet has approved a list of 28 priority capital projects for the 2027 budget, allocating millions for a new square in Žabljak alongside various roads, sports facilities, and hospitals. It is an ambitious schedule for a government that must also navigate a thickening thicket of bilateral disputes; Croatia’s foreign minister has begun questioning the speed of the country’s EU accession, specifically regarding the ownership of the former Yugoslav training ship Jadran. Internal politics remain predictably restive. The opposition plans to renew its bid to dismiss parliamentary speaker Andrija Mandić, while the Centre for Democratic Transition has filed criminal charges against a local official and a university professor. Meanwhile, the DNP party has hired a British national on a six-month contract to help its leadership navigate the political circles of Washington. Negotiations to join the EU’s ‘Roam Like at Home’ regime are prepared to begin immediately, offering a rare point of consensus during a visit by the European Commissioner. At home, the state employment agency is facing scrutiny after it emerged it paid for a third apartment for a director who already had access to an official residence and owned property in the capital.
