CroatiaOwnership & classification
Founded: 2014
Ownership
N1 Hrvatska is the Croatian arm of the regional N1 news network, launched in 2014 and operated by United Media, the media division of United Group. United Group is a Balkan telecoms-and-media conglomerate founded by Serbian entrepreneur Dragan Solak; since 2019 it has been majority-controlled by private-equity firm BC Partners, with KKR also a shareholder. N1 operates as CNN International's local broadcast affiliate in the region.
Funding
Financed commercially through advertising and as part of United Group's pay-TV and telecoms business, with no party or state budget. It distributes via United Group's own cable/telecom platforms across the region.
Affiliation & stance
N1 is editorially independent of Croatia's government and is generally seen as a liberal, government-critical outlet covering the wider ex-Yugoslav region. Because it is owned by a private, foreign-investor-backed commercial group rather than any party or state, it is classified INDEPENDENT, though its concentration within United Group draws media-pluralism scrutiny.

There are no trams to New Zagreb today, nor through it!
On 6 October 2026, tram services in Zagreb were temporarily suspended due to construction work at the Zapruđe substation.

How new Russian drones pose a major threat to Ukrainians: "They're harder to shoot down"
Rusija je u zadnje vrijeme sve intenzivnije koristila novu generaciju mlaznih napadačkih dronova u napadima na Kijev, što predstavlja ozbiljan izazov za ukrajinsku protuzračnu obranu. Posebno se ističe Geran-5, koji je brži i teži za presretanje od prethodnih modela. Ukrajinski vođa Volodimir Zelenski navodi da trenutno uspijevaju oboriti oko 57 posto ruskih mlaznih dronova, što smatra nedovoljnim. Inženjer obrambene kompanije objasnio je da Geran-5 leti brže i zahtijeva složeniji pristup za njegovo rušenje. Napadi su se usmjerili na škole, trgovine, bolnice i druga važna infrastruktura, promijenivši svakodnevni život građana. Rusija povećava produkciju ovih dronova, dok Ukrajina koristi borbene zrakoplove kao što su MiG-29, F-16 i Mirage 2000 za njihovo rušenje. Nedostatak raketa zrak-zrak smanjuje efikasnost ukrajinskih snaga.

SDP: "Plenkovic obviously found Istria as a hole to throw garbage in"
Representatives of the Istrian branch of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) met with protesters in Koromac near the Holcim cement plant and expressed outrage over the government's decision to burn waste from the PPK Velebit site at the cement plants. They accused Prime Minister Andrej Plenković of treating Istria as a 'dump' for waste. SDP parliamentary representative Sanja Radolović criticized the government for showing disrespect toward elected representatives and citizens who protested against the plan. She questioned what citizens could expect from institutions like the judiciary, state inspectorate, and the Office for the Protection of the Environment (DORH), especially after the prime minister unilaterally decided to burn 650 tons of waste at Holcim and Nexeo in Nasice overnight. The SDP also highlighted the lack of trust among residents in both local and national authorities, emphasizing the need for transparency and dialogue.
