Government Faces Demands as Key Probes Emerge

The ongoing Lika waste protest has intensified, with demonstrators now in the capital presenting their demands directly to government ministers, who have issued a response. This marks a significant escalation in the environmental dispute that has gripped the region.

Meanwhile, private detectives have reportedly raided Zagrebački Holding, sparking speculation of an internal investigation into potential leaks or "moles" within the company. Adding to the nation's concerns, a 27-year-old murder case involving Mirko Rimac and Krešimir Gilja remains without a final verdict, with an expert suggesting sabotage as the statute of limitations approaches.
