United States President Donald Trump signed a proclamation in Washington on September 19, 2025, introducing a $100,000 fee per year for companies sponsoring H-1B workers.

You’ll find it between Zagreb and Karlovac, and it has been a more serious victim of the demographic crisis. As Putni kofer writes, surrounded by gentle, rolling green hills, vineyards and ample orchards, the area around Zagreb exudes rural charm and the typical landscape of central Croatia. Indeed, just a ten minute or so drive outside of the centre of the city leaves you feeling as if you’re absolutely nowhere even close to the

April the 2nd, 2026 – Croatian hotel owners are cautiously optimistic about the upcoming season, with around 170,000 visitors expected over the Easter break alone. As Sinisa Malus/Poslovni Dnevnik writes, Croatian hotel owners are currently entering one of the most challenging seasons in recent years with moderate optimism. Hotel bookings before Easter are satisfactory, similar to those in 2023 and 2024. Croatian hotel owners are therefore harbouring a sense of cautious optimism for Easter.
