Zagreb's public transport strike entered its second day, leaving patients struggling to reach hospitals and just one or two trams operating across the city. Mayor Tomislav Tomašević refused union demands, noting that salaries at the transit authority—where the July average was €1,942—have already risen by up to 85%. A court is expected to rule on whether the walkout is legal.
Separately, Prime Minister Andrej Plenković called for a new tender for the Maksimir stadium project, a move the Chamber of Architects opposed as an international disgrace. On the infrastructure front, construction on a €200m highway was halted after workers dug up Neolithic artifacts.
