Croatian Mountain Rescue Service (HGSS) members located the wreckage of an ultralight aircraft and two bodies in the Paklenica area following a difficult search through rain, wind, and fog. The tragic discovery came after hours of battling stormy conditions.
Meanwhile, environmental concerns are escalating with a leading European environmental journalist labeling Gospić a 'PFAS hotspot' and advising against consuming locally grown potatoes due to high contamination. This comes as Croatia has imported over 11,320 tons of hazardous waste, raising further questions about environmental protection.
In other news, recent storms have impacted Croatia, with reports detailing their passage and the expected return of warmer temperatures. Separately, the tax authority is facing a low response rate in its call for citizens to verify data in the population registry.
