- As Croatia prepares to clear tens of thousands of tonnes of hazardous waste from its Lika region, locals fear years of illegal dumping may have caused lasting damage.
In August, an expert report confirmed that "soil contamination had occurred" at a site in the town of Gospic and impacted the surrounding area, posing a "significant risk" to people and the environment.
This came after prosecutors announced an investigation last year into 10 people suspected of dumping waste from Italy, Slovenia and other parts of the country at sites in Croatia, including in Gospic.
When the scale of the waste and potential contamination became clear, frustration grew over authorities' response, triggering widespread protests and a political backlash.

The ban on music in public places is imposed by the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice (PVPV) Ministry, whose morality police roam the city wearing long white coats. PVPV regulations state that "since music is forbidden and causes annoyance to passengers, drivers must refrain from playing or listening to it".
Despite the ban, taxi drivers have started playing Afghan and regional folk, which they quickly turn off when security forces are around.
