April the 4th, 2022 - Croatian fuel prices should be finally set to drop tomorrow after last week's hike which came as a very unwelcome surprise to drivers. As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, following on from last week's significant and entirely unwelcome increase in Croatian fuel prices, there's finally a little bit of good news for the nation's drivers. From tomorrow on, Croatian fuel prices will be lower, but they will still not be able to compensate for the increase from last week. As such, the prices of regulated Eurodiesel in Croatia should be about 80 cents lower, while Eurosuper 95 petrol…

The founder and man who brought Ekos Holding to the wholesale confectionery throne, Hrvoje Vojvoda, once the mayor of Varazdin, has been replaced by his son Josip, and the biggest changes they faced took place in Ekos pekarnica, the most important daughter company of Ekos, holding…

April 4, 2022 -  Jadran Split did not manage to take home the Regional Water Polo League title on Sunday, losing in the final of the tournament to the host Novi Belgrade 11-14 (2-1, 2-3, 3-6, 4-4).

The trophy remained in Serbia after Radnički from Zagreb won it last year.  There was hope that Jadran could write another beautiful story in its 102nd year of existence.

ZAGREB, 3 April (Hina) - No risks to the stability of the financial system have been observed so far, given the high capitalisation of the banking system and relatively low household indebtedness, the Croatian National Bank (HNB) and the Croatian Banking Association (HUB) say. The HNB has raised the countercyclical capital buffer (CCyB) rate from 0 to 0.5% due to the continued accumulation of cyclical systemic risks amid economic recovery following the crisis caused by the pandemic, the growth in the prices of residential real estate and the pickup in lending activity. The new rate is to be applied as of 31…
