Thousands rally in Zagreb calling for urgent cleanup of toxic waste tied to Gospic site

Thousands gathered in Zagreb to demand an urgent cleanup of toxic waste at the Gospic site in Croatia; authorities say tests on water and soil in Gospic were negative and a temporary cover plus a local company clearing some waste are planned while a longer-term remediation plan is drafted. Protesters cite Euro‑pol findings that much waste originated from other EU nations and warn that the region’s karst terrain and rivers could spread pollution toward the Adriatic Sea, calling for decisive action from officials.

Mljet shipwreck uncovers Mediterranean’s largest gold hoard

Archaeologists excavating off Croatia’s Mljet Island have recovered a late 7th/early 8th‑century shipwreck hoard—the largest gold treasure ever found from a Mediterranean shipwreck—featuring more than 600 grams of gold coins issued by four Heraclian emperors, plus elaborate jewelry with rubies, emeralds and pearls and a golden signet ring, indicating a high‑status passenger. The wreck, studied since 2015 and formally presented July 23 by the Croatian Conservation Institute, provides new insights into Mediterranean sea routes during the Roman‑to‑medieval transition.
