An extensive search is underway in Dravida for unofficial information about a missing boy.

An extensive search is underway along the Drava River near the village of Selnica Podravska in the Koprivnica-Križevci municipality for a boy born in 2018 who went missing on Wednesday evening. The police received a report at 20:39 and launched a nighttime search. Due to difficult terrain, darkness, and high water levels, the first phase did not yield results. A new phase began early Thursday near the Dubravski Bridge. Police officers, rescue divers, firefighters, and local residents are involved, with emergency services from neighboring counties also participating. According to unofficial消息称,

DJEČAK NESTAO U DRAVI

18.06.2026. u 21:57

"Kod nas vodostaj je opet porastao, ne sjećam se da smo imali nekakav nesretan slučaj na tom kupalištu", rekao je za HRT Ivan Sabolić, načelnik Legrada

Velika potraga pokrenuta je nakon nestanka djeteta u rijeci Dravi kod Selnice Podravske u Koprivničko-križevačkoj županiji. Dijete je nestalo na području starog toka Drave, gdje se nalazi ilegalno kupalište koje mještani koriste tijekom ljetnih mjeseci. Na terenu su od sinoć brojne službe, uključujući policiju, policijske ronioce, HGSS, vatrogasce i Crveni križ. Potragu otežavaju zahtjevni uvjeti jer je Drava posljednjih dana, nakon obilnih kiša, nabujala, a teren uz rijeku je sklizak i nestabilan. Opsežna potraga za dječakom traje cijeli dan. Policijski ronioci, vatrogasci i pripadnici HGSS-a pretražuju zahtjevan stari tok Drave čamcima, a područje se nadzire i iz zraka dronom, u nadi da će dijete biti pronađeno. Prema neslužbenim informacijama, djeca su se jučer poslijepodne uputila prema starom sprudu rijeke Drave, mjestu na kojem se mještani tijekom ljetnih mjeseci kupaju. Nakon toga dječak je nestao.

Otvara se i pitanje što su malodobna djeca bez nadzora roditelja radila na tom području. Prije tri mjeseca roditelji su bili prijavljeni zbog zanemarivanja djece. Nadležne službe tada su izašle na teren, no utvrđeno je da nepravilnosti nije bilo. "Nadležni područni ured odmah je po zaprimanju prijave poduzeo sve mjere i radnje sukladno svojim ovlastima i važećim zakonskim propisima te utvrdio da nije bilo elemenata za poduzimanje mjera obiteljsko-pravne zaštite", stoji u priopćenju Hrvatskog zavoda za socijalni rad. Mještani kažu kako ne pamte sličnu tragediju na tom području. "Baš je nesreća što je ovih dana voda nakon godinu i pol opet nabujala zbog kiša koje su se slile u Austriji i Sloveniji. Kod nas vodostaj je opet porastao, ne sjećam se da smo imali nekakav nesretan slučaj na tom kupalištu", rekao je za HRT Ivan Sabolić, načelnik Legrada.

"Nestalo je dijete 2018. godište na području rijeke Drave, koja je u ovom trenutku nabujala. Na jednom ilegalnom kupalištu koje koriste mještani i posjetitelji ovog kraja. Više detalja o tome kako je nestalo dijete, ne znamo, ali spremamo se da krenemo u potragu i pronađemo dijete", rekao je Sabolić. "Na terenu su trenutačno policijski ronioci Interventne jedinice policije i svi drugi rodovi policije. Isto tako, uključeni su članovi HGSS-a te vatrogasna društva. Krenut će se s intenzivnim mjerama traganja , naglasila je Dijana Žagar", glasnogovornica PU koprivničko-križevačke.

A large search underway: Young man went for a swim and disappeared in the Drava

A young man has gone missing after disappearing during a swim in the old bed of the Drava River between Pušćina and Gornji Hrašćan. Emergency services have arrived at the scene to search for him.
