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.

April the 19th, 2026 – Prices in Croatia are hardly a new topic, but the fact that the country is consistently recording inflation that is almost twice as high as the Eurozone average is of extreme concern. As Poslovni Dnevnik/Edita Vlahovic Zuvela writes, price growth accelerated once again in the first quarter of this year. Croatia has sadly been recording inflation almost twice as high as the average for the Eurozone average. The annual inflation rate stood at a worrying 3.6% back in January, 3.9% in February and 4.6% in March, according to the latest data from the Central Bureau of

This Croatian island in the Zadar archipelago has no boat services, around four permanent residents and only recently actually got public lighting. If you’re looking for true peace, then this little oasis in the Pašman channel is the place for you.

April the 18th, 2026 – There are currently no flight cancellations as far as Croatia is concerned, with guests even planning on spending more this year. Transport Minister Oleg Butković recently announced that there’s no fuel shortage at Croatian airports and he isn’t sure where these panicked headlines are coming from in the country’s regard. He assured that he has had “no such information” about any sort of fuel shortage and that INA, as the country’s sole supplier, has ensured there will be enough fuel for air traffic. With that being said, the ongoing war in the Middle East and the continued

April the 17th, 2026 – Zagreb Cathedral re-opens its doors to visitors following long and very extensive post-earthquake works, reaffirming its importance on the capital’s cultural scene. There’s a joke that often goes around about how Zagreb Cathedral is forever under some sort of construction. It’s true, there have been works going on for… well… a long time. The earthquake that shook the capital back in March of 2020 as the coronavirus pandemic also raged didn’t help matters, with severe damage occurring to the iconic structure and as such, even more works needing to be carefully carried out. After six long years,

April the 17th, 2026 – Dalmatia has cemented its status as a leading nautical destination at the recently held Dalmatia Boat Show.
