Founded: 1959
Ownership
Vecernji list is a Croatian daily founded in Zagreb in 1959 (from the merger of Vecernji Vjesnik and Narodni list). It is owned by Styria Media Group AG, an Austrian media company founded in 1869 and based in Graz, which is the sole shareholder of its Croatian operation Vecernji list d.o.o. Styria itself is ultimately controlled by the Catholic-rooted Styria Media Group foundation (Katholischer Medien Verein / Privatstiftung) in Austria.
Funding
Financed commercially through newsstand sales, subscriptions and advertising, backed by its Austrian parent Styria. It receives no Croatian party or state subsidy.
Affiliation & stance
Vecernji list is a mainstream center-right, conservative and Catholic-leaning daily, often seen as closer to the HDZ side of the spectrum. Because it is owned by a private foreign commercial publisher (Styria) and not directly controlled by a Croatian party, church body or the state, it is classified INDEPENDENT, with its conservative slant reflecting editorial line rather than party ownership.

The article reports on the public display of the body of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran, at the Imam Hossein Mosque in Tehran. His body was laid out for viewing by religious leaders, politicians, foreign diplomats, and citizens as part of seven days of mourning ceremonies following his assassination during the U.S.-Israeli attack. The event marks the end of his 37-year leadership. The body will remain on display until Monday, with an expected attendance of between 15 to 20 million people in Tehran alone.

In 15 regions of Russia, restrictions on the sale of fuel were introduced for 24 hours
At least 15 regions in Russia implemented fuel sales restrictions on June 23 due to a fuel shortage caused by attacks on oil refining facilities by Ukrainian drones. The restrictions include limiting fuel purchases to specific volumes per person and banning refueling into cans. These measures were introduced in major regions such as Khanty-Mansiysk, Belgorod, Bryansk, Kursk, Tyumen, Novosibirsk, Saratov, Penza, Omsk, Voronezh, Murmansk, and Krasnoyarsk. Authorities cited the need to prevent artificial shortages and excessive demand. In Irkutsk Oblast, some gas stations imposed limits while others stopped operating entirely. Governor Igor Kobzev initially linked the fuel shortage to drone strikes but later removed this statement. In Vladimir Oblast, residents were urged to reduce car travel, and in North Ossetia, authorities ordered the creation of an emergency fuel reserve. Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak described the situation as 'not simple but controlled,' attributing regional restrictions to temporary logistical issues. Fuel sales have effectively halted in Crimea after an attack on a logistics hub in the Kerch Strait, with the Russian Federal Antimonopoly Service also禁止
Cold shower from northern Europe: Clean penalty! Many missed what Vlasic did before that
The Croatian national football team suffered a dramatic and painful 2-1 defeat to Portugal in the Round of 16 at the World Cup. The match was marked by numerous controversies and controversial decisions, including disallowed goals by Cristiano Ronaldo and Petar Sučić due to freezing conditions, as well as a controversial goal by Gvardiol that was later overturned after VAR review. One of the most contentious moments was a penalty awarded to Portugal following an incident involving Ronaldo. Norwegian referee Espen Eskås initially did not show a yellow card after a challenge by Nikola Vlašić on Gabriel Veiga, but after a call from VAR and reviewing footage, he changed his decision, citing that Vlašić had prevented the Portuguese attacker from reaching the ball. This decision sparked outrage among Croatian fans. However, a Swedish referee analyst from the Referee Channel, Victor, argued that Portugal was justified in receiving the penalty. He explained that many viewers focused only on the handball and missed key details, such as Vlašić hitting the attacker in the face and using his legs to bring him down. Victor concluded that Vlašić committed three fouls in one action and deserved a
An American gets the maximum amount of recovery time at Wimbledon.
The article discusses the scheduling of the first-round doubles match at Wimbledon involving American tennis player Serena Williams and her sister Venus Williams against the Argentine-Colombian pair Solana Sierra and Camila Osorio. The match was initially scheduled for Thursday and Friday but has been postponed due to Serena's injury during her singles match. Tournament organizer Andy Murray (likely a misstatement, as Andy Murray is a British player, and the correct name might be someone like Ashley Barker or another official) stated they are giving Serena as much time as possible to recover. They ruled out postponing the match to later dates unless necessary for safety or tournament flow. The match is expected to take place on a larger court to accommodate the large crowd attracted by Serena and Venus, who are major stars. Serena returned to professional tennis after four years, but she lost her first singles match and injured her knee. She did not attend a press conference afterward due to health reasons and expressed her commitment to participating in the doubles event. Serena and Venus have won six doubles titles together, including a title in 2016.

Croatia no longer has an electorate and the name of the new one is known?
Croatia has exited the World Cup after losing to Portugal, marking the end of their tournament participation. Zlatko Dalić, who had been coaching the national team since the start of the World Cup, will no longer serve as the head coach, despite the technical phase of the competition still technically ongoing. Dalić led Croatia in 111 matches, winning three medals at the World Cups in Russia and Qatar, as well as in Euro Nations League, making him the most successful Croatian coach in history. Dalić was aware that his tenure would end after this World Cup, and reports suggest former player Ivica Olić is the top contender for his replacement. President of the Croatian Football Association Marijan Kustić is reportedly still trying to convince Dalić to stay, but the final decision will ultimately rest with Dalić.
