September the 7th, 2022 - Inflation is spiralling, and electricity prices are continuing on their upward trajectory. As such, the first Croatian calculator for working out and comparing the prices of electricity is now a reality, thanks to the Croatian Energy Market Operator (HROTE). As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, customers from the category of households and businesses with an expected annual consumption of less than 100,000 kilowatt-hours can use this new and informative tool for comparing the offers of electricity suppliers' models and tariffs, prepared by the Croatian Energy Market Operator (HROTE). This new Croatian calculator is an independent information tool…

September the 7th, 2022 - When it comes to Croatian complaints, what precisely do foreign visitors to these shores moan the most about? Judging from a lot of what we've seen, the biggest complaints tourists have about the country are... other tourists. As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, other tourists seem to bother tourists visiting Croatia more than much else does. Many visitors regret the times when visitors bypassed Croatia and instead simply went to Spain and Italy and Croatia remained somewhat of a secret to the crowds. Crowding bothers many tourists, and they also complain about bus and ferry transportation. But apart…

September the 7th, 2022 - Tourist spending has been excellent so far, but with Croatian energy bills soaring just like across the rest of Europe, it's difficult to say just how much cash businesses have actually managed to pocket. As Morski writes, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out that year's summer tourist season will definitely surpass all previous ones in terms of revenue earned, primarily due to higher prices caused by inflation, but what about energy and food prices? Due to there never having been so many concerts held at the Pula Arena before, the number of daily…

September 7, 2022 – Picture this. You took a weekend off and spent it in nature, fishing, camping by the Danube, and eating delicious fish stew. It would be silly to stop there, wouldn’t it? Nothing better to round it all up than more homemade food and outstanding wine. Balance it out with some physical activity. Head east from Aljmaš, follow the 11-kilometre-long promenade and you will arrive in Erdut. Located 37 kilometres from Osijek, you might have heard of it in the context of the Erdut Peace Agreement of 1995, otherwise an unknown place. If you just scratch the…

September 6, 2022 -  Croatia barely pulled off a 73-70 victory against Estonia yesterday but tonight's 81-76 (42-34) loss to host Italy in game four makes elimination very likely. The checkered team now need a clear victory against second-placed Ukraine on Thursday during the last group game in order to take place two or three and reach the Round of 16. After starting the tournament with two good games (a close loss to favored Greece, a clear win against Great Britain) the Croatian national basketball team almost surprisingly lost its third game in Milan against Estonia. The reason for Estonia…

September 6, 2022 - The Croatia men's water polo team has secured a spot in the European Championship semifinals!  The Croatia men's water polo team met Georgia in the quarter-final match of the European Championships in Split on Tuesday.  The winner of the match will play in the semi-finals against Italy, who beat France 16:8 in the quarter-finals. Croatia did not reach the quarterfinals easily. They lost the first half to both France and Greece in the group stage and failed to score against Greece in the first 16 minutes of the match. However, a draw against Greece was enough for…

September 6, 2022 – The grape harvest is the event of the month. In eastern Croatia, it always makes for some very memorable moments. The traditional Erdut Wine & Bike Tour takes place on the second weekend in September. It has since 2014 attracted wine and nature lovers to the "Erdut Wine Peninsula", located on the most popular European Eurovelo cycling route, Danube. Every September, Croatians look forward to harvesting the fruits of their efforts and work, spreading good feelings, and giving thanks for the opportunities they have been given. The Erdut Tourist Board hereby invite you to find your…

September the 6th, 2022 - Croatian public procurement issues and disputes will be settled solely in euros when we enter 2023, even if they were initially concluded and contracted in Croatian kuna. As Poslovni Dnevnik/Marija Brnic writes, on the first day when officially all prices must be expressed in euros in addition to Croatian kuna, many were surprised that in the very recently announced tenders of state and public bodies and institutions, as well as companies, the highest prices willing to be paid for a particular job were not stated in the new currency (euros) at all. In all contracts on…

September the 6th, 2022 - Nano Energies Croatia (Hrvatska) has some innovative methods for lowering spiralling electricity costs, which are posing more and more of a threat to everyone in society as the situation continues to be dire. As Poslovni Dnevnik/Darko Bicak writes, the energy sector is going through an extremely turbulent period that is deeply affecting both companies and regular households. Rising energy prices, the war in Ukraine, the need for decarbonisation and the need to digitise everything have made the need to find more innovative and sustainable solutions much, much more urgent. System optimisation, flexible consumption, the general reduction…
