Croatia faces alarming revelations as it's been disclosed that the country maintains 357 secret storage locations, yet none are stocked with vital products, sparking national security and public health concerns. This lack of essential reserves highlights a significant gap in the nation's preparedness for potential crises.
Meanwhile, the healthcare system is grappling with a new crisis as doctors are resigning en masse due to the actions of Dijana Zadravec, an official from the ruling Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) party, severely endangering patients. The government asserts that hospital management operates independently and is not accountable for Zadravec's appointment.
In other news, the collapse of Alta Bank continues to draw scrutiny, with new questions emerging about multi-million dollar transactions and the potential wider economic impact on the country. Separately, police conducted a raid on an apartment in Sesvete, while an HDZ-led municipality is under fire for thousands of euros spent on food and drinks without clear accounting, with the mayor promising an explanation.
