Croatia is grappling with multiple corruption allegations as the former head of Croatian Roads, Josip Škorić, and his associates face indictment for alleged bribery involving home renovations, luxury trips, and paid dinners. Separately, an IDS politician is under investigation in the 'Buje Affair' for alleged kickbacks and property deals.
Beyond the corruption headlines, domestic news includes a heatwave alert with temperatures expected to reach 35°C, protests on islands over property tax policies, and a chaotic attempted robbery in Koprivnica where police officers were injured. A drunk police officer also caused a disturbing traffic incident, hitting a cyclist.
Internationally, Croatian media is following developments such as a new Chinese naval vessel, a Ukrainian general's plan to defeat the Russian army, and warnings about potential loss of control over AI following an incident at OpenAI.
