CroatiaOn August 28, 2026, a citizen in Gospić voluntarily handed over illegal weapons and explosives to police officers, including two automatic rifles, 12 landmines, four hand grenades, 1 kg of explosives, 38 pieces of ammunition, and a rifle mount. The police officer for explosive protection took possession of these items and stored them until destruction. According to the Law on Acquisition and Possession of Weapons by Citizens, voluntary surrender of illegal weapons is exempt from sanctions. Therefore, the police are urging all citizens who still possess or hide illegal weapons or explosives to make the first step toward voluntary surrender by calling number 192. It is emphasized that individuals should not bring weapons or explosives directly to police stations to avoid accidental activation and injury, but instead report their intention to surrender through the designated hotline or local police station, where trained personnel will collect the items.
