The White House has moved to overhaul the H-1B system by attaching a $100,000 yearly charge to each sponsored worker. Analysts say the policy could reshape hiring in the technology, finance, and consulting sectors. 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. The administration presented the charge as part of a broader shift to prioritize domestic hiring and to narrow use of the high-skill visa in entry-level roles.

May the 23rd, 2026 – There is plenty of construction along the Croatian coast, with some of it having not exactly been legal in the past. With cranes now as common as palm trees, the question is, is there too much of it going on? From Istria to southern Dalmatia, new apartment blocks, villas and tourism developments continue rising rapidly along some of the Adriatic’s most desirable stretches of coastline. How much is too much? Tourism demand, foreign investment and rising property values continue fuelling an intense wave of development across the Adriatic. New apartments, holiday homes, luxury villas and

May the 23rd, 2026 – Krk Bridge isn’t exactly a bridge you’d consider to be massive or particularly amazing in the modern day, but once upon a time, it was the envy of Europe. When it opened back in 1980, the spectacular bridge connecting the island of Krk to the mainland was not only one of the biggest infrastructure projects in the former Yugoslavia, it was also one of the largest concrete arch bridges on Earth at the time. Now very controversial, it was widely known at the time as “Tito’s Bridge (Titov most).” The huge structure immediately attracted international

May the 23rd, 2026 – Croatian restaurants are now rethinking the classic huge tourist menu as price controls loom and tourist habits change. Dozens of pizzas, grilled dishes, seafood plates, pasta combinations, risottos, salads and desserts, all offered at once, often in multiple languages and designed to satisfy every possible tourist preference. It was that way for decades, but it seems that old model is beginning to change, as are the times in general. Faced with rising costs, labour shortages and increasing operational pressure, many Croatian restaurants are quietly simplifying what they serve. It seems that the tide is turning

May the 22nd, 2026 – There’s a forgotten Croatian tunnel in central Dalmatia that you won’t find on the map, yet it still lures and fascinates plenty of drivers to this very day. As Putni kofer writes, high in the rugged cliffs above the Cetina canyon near Omiš lies one of Dalmatia’s most unusual old roads. It’s a narrow mountain route carved directly through the rock, offering spectacular views, sharp bends and a glimpse into what travelling through coastal Croatia once looked like before modern highways arrived and changed it all. The old road connecting Omiš and the old village
