The President of Slovenia, Nataša Pirc Musar, was lightly injured in a traffic accident that occurred on Friday afternoon in the Kastelec tunnel on the coastal highway, after returning from a holiday in Croatia. The police have revealed details of the incident, stating that two people were injured, one being the president, who sustained minor injuries, and another person in the other vehicle, who suffered serious injuries.

During summer nights in Split, intoxicated tourists frequently disrupt public order and are often found unconscious on the streets, prompting calls to emergency services. These incidents have become nearly routine, involving significant resources from the Emergency Medical Service. While some European countries charge individuals involved in alcohol-related emergencies, Croatia does not currently implement such a practice. Data from the Split-Dalmatia County Institute for Emergency Medicine indicates over 50 alcohol-related interventions in June alone, with many cases involving young tourists participating in pub crawls. The financial burden of these interventions includes both medical costs and the allocation of human and material resources. Questions remain about whether tourists who cause such situations should contribute to covering these costs.

A video recording of a brutal assault on a 30-year-old man in the center of Slavonski Brod has circulated on social media, prompting his sister to report the incident. She claims her brother was a random victim targeted by a group of young men who followed him after he returned home from a night out. The attackers reportedly continued to beat him despite his pleas to stop, with one striking him in the head, causing him to lose consciousness before being subjected to further violence. The police arrived approximately 20 minutes after the call, but emergency services did not arrive. A neighbor helped by calling for assistance, and a 17-year-old girl recorded the event. The injured man suffered a cut above his eye requiring stitches, multiple bruises, and head injuries. His sister described his ongoing physical and emotional trauma, including difficulty sleeping and fear of going outside. The family remains anonymous due to fears of repercussions, and the main suspect is said to be known to police for similar incidents. Authorities have not yet officially commented, though informal investigations into the perpetrators' identities are underway.
