Analysts say the policy could reshape hiring in the technology, finance, and consulting sectors.

May the 15th, 2026 – LELEK is altering how Europe experiences Croatian music and making the country a much more serious contender outside of typical Eurovision pop. For years, Croatia struggled to define what kind of Eurovision country it wanted to be. Some entries leaned heavily into your typical Eurovision-style generic radio-pop formulas. Others embraced novelty and chaos. Qualification failures became common during much of the 2010s, and Croatia often felt like a participant searching for an identity rather than actually really expressing one. Now, however, something appears to be changing with the emergence of LELEK . Following the international

May the 15th, 2026 – Croatia’s supermarket wars are intensifying as consumers begin to push back on the ridiculously high prices that have been the “norm” for much too long now. As spiralling inflation continues to dominate public discussion, competition between major retail chains is becoming increasingly aggressive, with discounts, loyalty campaigns and public price comparisons now central to how supermarkets market themselves.

In certain coastal locations, campsites are now generating more income than hotels. Camping along the coast and the islands in Croatia was once associated mainly with budget tourism and family holidays. The sector has changed dramatically however, and in some coastal regions, modern campsites are now generating revenues and occupancy levels that rival or even outperform traditional hotel investments. Across Istria, Kvarner and parts of Dalmatia, many campsites have evolved into high-end tourism complexes with mobile homes,

May the 15th, 2026 – Are Croatia’s smaller cities and towns finally managing to hold at least somewhat of a candle to Zagreb? For very many decades, Zagreb dominated almost everything in the entire country; jobs, salaries, schooling, universities, business opportunities and more. If you wanted to embark on any kind of remotely serious career in Croatia, the assumption was simple: eventually, you had to up and move to Zagreb, no matter where in the country you hailed from. Things are starting to alter. The change is slow but steady. Cities like Osijek, Varaždin and Zadar are increasingly trying to

May the 15th, 2026 – Solin is situated near bustling Split. Today, most people simply travel through it or past it, giving it no thought at all. That’s a mistake. Solin is an unassuming Croatian town that was actually once among the Roman Empire’s largest. Just a few kilometres from Split lies one of the most historically important places in Croatia, yet many tourists heading toward the Adriatic coast barely notice it.
