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.

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.

As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, Zagreb bus station is likely to get a completely new address in the coming years – on the site of the former Gredelj.

December the 5th, 2025 – Croatia is home to the world’s only Roman palace that people still live inside, 1700 years after it was first constructed. You likely guessed it, this incredible UNESCO-protected structure is located in the heart of Split. As Putni kofer writes, an astonishing living monument, this is how, in short, one could describe the most monumental building in the heart of Split – Diocletian’s Palace. These centuries-old, imposing walls preserve a rich history and multiple monuments, and wandering through its ancient streets, paved with smooth, aged stone, you’re transported directly back in time to the glory days

With more than 1000 islands, islets and reefs, each with its own stories, scents and distinctive landscape, the Adriatic truly offers a diversity that is extremely difficult to find elsewhere.

December 3, 2025 – One of the very best times and places to enjoy Croatia are the Dalmatian islands, but connectivity and open tourism facilities have traditionally been a hindrance. Until now. Meet Hotel Preko, Curio Collection by Hilton, on the island of Ugljan. A lesser-known fact about me is that my first-ever website about Croatia was about a sector of Croatian tourism that barely exists more than 20 years later.
