In Istria, he pretended to be a municipal guard and fled from the police.

In Istria, a 41-year-old man falsely presented himself as a municipal traffic warden and fled from police. The incident occurred on August 28 in Žminj, where the man blocked traffic by parking his car on a lane marked for electric vehicles and attempted to escape when approached by police. During the chase, he repeatedly claimed to be a municipal traffic officer responsible for addressing illegal parking at electric vehicle charging stations. However, upon investigation, it was confirmed that he was not an official traffic warden. He was arrested and faced charges under the Law on Offenses Against Public Order and Peace and the Road Traffic Safety Act. Police recommended a penalty including up to 30 days in jail, a fine of 720 euros, and a three-month ban on driving a car. The court released him pending further decisions on penalties.
