Croatian parliament debates hazardous waste disposal as opposition pushes no-confidence motion
Croatian lawmakers continued debating illegal hazardous waste disposal in Lika as the opposition pushed for a no-confidence vote against the ruling coalition.
The Croatian parliament continued an extraordinary session, requested by President Zoran Milanović, to address illegal hazardous waste dumping in the Lika region. The environmental controversy escalated political friction in Zagreb, prompting the opposition Social Democratic Party to initiate a vote of no confidence against the governing coalition of the Croatian Democratic Union and the Homeland Movement. Debates resumed following an initial 18-hour parliamentary session.
In Malta, proceedings advanced in the trial of businessman Yorgen Fenech, accused of masterminding the 2017 assassination of investigative reporter Daphne Caruana Galizia, with the jury hearing testimony regarding her corruption inquiries.
Concurrently, data from the Reuters Institute's Digital News Report 2026 revealed that 63 percent of respondents in Croatia avoid the news regularly or occasionally, placing the country among the highest globally alongside Bulgaria, Greece, and Turkey.
