May 8, 2023 - Croatian epidemiologists might be proposing the Croatian government declare the end of pandemic. Pulmonologist Saša Srića commented on the decision of the World Health Organization, declaring the end of the global threat of the coronavirus pandemic. In his guest appearance for N1's Dnevnik, as reported by Index, this is what he said: "Two days ago, the president of the World Health Organization declared the end of the global threat related to the pandemic, not the end of the pandemic.

May 8, 2023 - The situation in the Croatian job market seems to be quite dynamic. Croats are changing jobs more than ever before, and they intend to continue the practice of quitting.

May 7, 2023 - Continuing our video journey through life in Croatia with the Paul Bradbury Croatia Expert YouTube channel, a Croatian journey crossing the Sahara in an electric car. Whyever not? What happens when you combine a Tesla car, a bottle of rakija and two crazy Croats? "Did you know that a Tesla has never crossed the Sahara Desert?" "Why am I not surprised?" "Shall we become the first?" And so, a few years ago, a crazy journey was conceived by Sasa Cvetojevic and Oleg Mastruko, to drive Sasa's Tesla across the Sahara Desert as part o the Budapest…

May 7, 2023 - Suncani Hvar Hotels' sustainable tourism efforts recognised in Bol.  There is nothing like a short break on the adopted island where you lived for 13 years to fall in love with it again.  Easter on Hvar was delightful, and I have taken a renewed interest in the island, as I learned that there are some rather interesting things happening.

Indeed, this month, in addition to the important Feast of…

From the most UNESCO island heritage of any island in the world, and the oldest public theatre in Europe, to the most sun in Croatia and the birthplace of organised tourism in Europe. Oh, and THOSE Pakleni Islands.…
