CroatiaOwnership & classification
Founded: 2007
Ownership
tportal (tportal.hr) is a leading Croatian news and entertainment web portal run by Hrvatski Telekom (HT), the country's largest telecoms operator. HT's majority shareholder is Germany's Deutsche Telekom, which holds roughly 53-54% of the company; the Croatian state and institutional investors hold the remaining shares. The portal is thus a corporate property of a publicly listed, foreign-majority-owned telecoms group rather than of a media family or political actor.
Funding
Financed commercially through online advertising and cross-subsidy from its corporate parent Hrvatski Telekom; it is not a paywalled subscription product and receives no party or direct state media budget.
Affiliation & stance
tportal maintains a broadly mainstream, centrist editorial line with no overt party allegiance. Although its owner Hrvatski Telekom is partly state-held and majority-owned by Deutsche Telekom (itself part German-state-owned), the portal operates as a commercial product without party or government editorial control, so it is best classified INDEPENDENT (commercial) rather than a state broadcaster, while noting the telecom-conglomerate ownership.

Interesting criteria of Roman Jerković Kraljić: Is the director of the theater relevant for a conversation about heart health?
The article discusses concerns raised by the leader of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Sinisa Hajdarevic Doncic, regarding the activities of SDP's European Parliament representative, Romana Jerkovic Kraljic. Specifically, he criticizes her for organizing study trips using public funds from the 'S&D' group of the European Parliament and for inviting individuals whose relevance to the topics discussed is questionable.

Did Trump just spill the beans about a closely guarded secret that the White House absolutely didn't want revealed?
U ponedjeljak, američki predsjednik Donald Trump izjavio je da povlačenje američkih bombardera dugog dometa iz vojne baze u Ujedinjenom Kraljevstvu bilo je zbog 'nekih prijetnji', što kontrastira s ranijim izjavama državnog tajnika Marc-a Rubya koji je tvrdio da je odluka bila osnova za sigurnosnu strategiju. Trumpova izjava stvara nedosljednost u objašnjenju razloga za povlačenje, što može imati posljedice na međunarodnu percepciju i unutrašnju politiku SAD-a. Ova situacija ističe kontroverzu oko transparentnosti i komunikacije u odnosu prema vanjskim prijetnjama.

See why I'd be overruled naked against Poland
During the UEFA Nations League match between Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) and Poland in Zenica, Bosnia's player Haris Tabaković scored a goal in the 48th minute, but it was disallowed by the referee after review by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR). The decision was based on the position of defender Ermedin Demirović, who was deemed to have interfered with play by being in an offside position. Although Tabaković was not in an offside position and his challenge was not disputed, the involvement of Demirović led to the goal being overturned. Despite this, Bosnia went on to win the match 1-0 through a penalty scored by Ivan Bašić in the 84th minute. The decision caused dissatisfaction among Bosnian players and coaches, including head coach Sergej Barbareza, but the French referee Jérémie Pignard upheld the VAR decision. This result keeps Bosnia in contention for first place in Group B4, where they compete against Sweden, Poland, and Romania.

Astronomers predict that the solar system will disintegrate sooner than we thought
Astronomers have presented new calculations suggesting a more turbulent end for the solar system than previously thought. Unlike earlier models that predicted planetary orbits would remain stable for a long time after the Sun consumes Earth, these new predictions indicate a significantly more chaotic conclusion. The study challenges previous assumptions about the long-term stability of the solar system, highlighting potential disruptions in planetary orbits as the Sun evolves into a red giant. This development could have implications for our understanding of planetary evolution and the future of life in the solar system.

A revolution is brewing in the racket: the IHF wants to abolish a rule that has completely changed the game
The International Handball Federation (IHF) is seriously considering abolishing or significantly restricting the 'seven-on-six' rule in handball, which has become one of the most powerful but controversial tactical tools in recent years. This rule allows a team to replace their goalkeeper with a seventh player during a two-minute suspension, effectively reducing the numerical disadvantage. The possibility of this change was discussed at the recent IHF Forum in Cairo, where coaches, players, referees, and other key figures debated the future of the sport. Philippe Bana, president of the French Handball Federation and former IHF vice-president, confirmed that the IHF is evaluating whether to experiment with changes to the rule in junior and youth world championships starting in 2027. While no final decision has been made yet, the IHF aims to analyze the potential impacts before any permanent changes to senior-level handball rules.
