CroatiaThe Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) has announced that it will initiate a process to determine the political responsibility of its deputy president Marin Mikšić, who was arrested alongside former footballer Dario Šimić and former tourism director Neda Livljanić in a joint operation by the State Security Service (USKOK) and police. The arrest comes amid allegations that Mikšić acted as an intermediary between Šimić and Livljanić, with suspicions that Livljanić provided Šimić with decisions regarding hospitality services in private homes during 2020 and 2021, despite the parcels not meeting spatial requirements. HDZ emphasized its commitment to due process and stated it would keep the public informed about further decisions. USKOK has not yet released official details of the operation.
