The police are investigating a jumbo bag of trash on Kukuljanova. All fenced in with a belt and a ramp.

Jumbo bags filled with crushed waste were discovered above the village of Kukuljanovo, and police have begun an investigation into their origin. The location has been cordoned off with tape and access blocked by a ramp. The Civic Initiative 'Stop the Devastation Like' first raised concerns about these waste bags, noting they resemble those found in Gospić near the silos. The initiative shared photos showing similar waste at the site in 2019 and 2020, raising questions about where this waste came from and what happened to it. Citizens have the right to know what is in their environment and whether there is a health risk. The initiative reported the issue to multiple authorities, including the local government of Bakar, environmental protection agencies, and the police. Representatives from Bakar’s municipal services visited the site, recorded everything, and submitted reports to the relevant inspections. The mayor of Bakar, Tomislav Klarić, stated that the land is privately owned by individuals and part of a company in receivership. Analysis will determine the type of waste in the bags, but until then, speculation is not possible.

Police are investigating large bags of waste found near Kukuljanovo, Croatia, after residents raised concerns about their origin. The location above the village was secured with barriers and a ramp closed off for further examination. The investigation began in the morning following reports of the discovery of large plastic bags filled with crushed waste. Authorities have yet to determine the source of the waste, which has sparked concern among local activists. A citizens' initiative called "Zaustavimo devastaciju Like" first alerted authorities to the issue, sharing photographs showing the waste resembles similar findings in Gospić near a silo. The group emphasized the similarity between the waste found in Kukuljanovo and that previously discovered in Gospić, noting that images from 2019 and 2020 showed more bags at the site. They urged officials to investigate where the waste came from and whether it poses health risks to nearby communities. Members of the initiative submitted complaints to several government bodies, including the State Inspectorate, police, the City of Bakar, and the Ministry of Environmental Protection. A representative from the City of Bakar confirmed that three municipal workers visited the site, recorded everything, and filed reports with relevant inspections. City mayor Tomislav Klarić stated that the land is privately owned by individuals and part of a company undergoing liquidation. He noted that some areas show signs of potential construction, such as ready-made concrete elements for a hall. Analysis will determine the type of waste in the bags, he added. The waste was found on land above the village of Kukuljanovo. The city has begun the necessary procedures to address the situation.

A summons has been issued to the responsible for the rehabilitation in Gospić: "Political mantras only provoke additional anger"

Daria Došen, predstavnik građanske inicijative 'Gospić je naš dom', govorila je u emisiji 'Novi dan' kod Nine Kljenak o problemima sa sanacijom nepropisno odloženog otpada u gradu Gospiću. Upozorila je da je prošlo više od godinu i pol od otvaranja afere, ali nema značajnijih napretaka u rešavanju problema. Došen je kritikovala političke figure, navodeći da njihove izjave 'samo izazivaju dodatnu ljutnju' među stanovnicima. Tema se tiče lokalne javne politike i administrativnih neefikasnosti.

Bias read (Progressive): The article frames local political figures negatively, suggesting their actions exacerbate public anger, which implies criticism of the current administration. The focus on a grassroots initiative and criticism of political rhetoric aligns with left-leaning perspectives on accountability and public怒
