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.

It often flies under the tourism radar, but this is the place where the crystalline Adriatic quite literally merges with the most beautiful Croatian mountain range, and the varying cultures of the three regions intertwine into one. Karlobag is a little but stand-out gem within the mountainous and truly beautiful Lika-Senj

April 30, 2026 – As the May holiday approaches and the season begins, major investment in Suncani Hvar’s Hotel Amfora and Sirena Resort bring additional quality to Croatia’s premier island. When I bought my house on Hvar back in 2002, I had no idea it was such a beautiful and historic island.

Over time, I realised just what a fantastic choice I had made (completely at

April the 30th, 2026 – There’s a Croatian walled city that is not only not Dubrovnik or Ston, but it isn’t anywhere even close to the coast, it instead lies on the banks of the mighty Danube. As Putni kofer writes, in the extreme east of the country lies one of the most picturesque cities in continental Croatia. Beautiful Ilok is situated on the banks of the Danube, surrounded by endless fertile vineyards and leaning against the slopes of Fruška Gora. With its truly impressive architecture and fantastic, globally recognised wines, it delights everyone who visits this otherwise overlooked part of
