There's more and more discarded weapons in the rivers.

The article reports on the increasing presence of discarded explosive devices such as bullets, mines, and bombs in rivers and lakes in Croatia, particularly around the Karlovac area. Despite a 19-year police campaign called 'Less Weapons - Less Tragedies,' authorities continue to find these dangerous items during routine checks at popular swimming spots. Mario Kišić, leader of the anti-explosive diving team, notes that over 20 interventions were needed this year alone to remove unexploded ordnance. Police officers emphasize that civilians should never attempt to handle such materials themselves, as they pose serious risks. Katarina Nadia Požega, a police officer handling public relations, highlights that people often discard weapons in nature or containers rather than properly disposing of them, believing it easier to call the police. The article lists the number of explosives recovered in six months on the Karlovac region, including 98 bombs, 60 mines, 20 kg of explosives, 1 kg of gunpowder, and thousands of rounds of ammunition.
