Croatia is bracing for a severe heatwave, with temperatures expected to soar up to 42°C, particularly on Thursday. This comes as new weather forecast maps indicate unfavorable conditions across the country.
In other pressing domestic news, a young man is in critical condition following an explosion near Bosiljevo, which may have involved a military-grade explosive device and caused significant property damage. Additionally, a 22-year-old woman died in a three-car collision in Split.
The nation also faces a persistent labor shortage, with commentary suggesting the government under Prime Minister Andrej Plenković is hindering potential solutions. Further concerns are raised by firefighters warning against drone interference during operations and the ZTC's controversial decision to take collective leave during the critical fire season, potentially endangering the Croatian Air Rescue (HRZ).
