In the past week, the most-read topics included funding for organizations linked to the Možemo party and controversies surrounding Tomislav Tomašević's handling of the arrival of popular singer Thompson at a sports event.
In a week dominated by local news, stories about Croatian handball players and the reception held in their honor caught significant attention. However, it was the controversy surrounding the attempt to ban the popular singer Thompson from the event that created buzz, particularly involving Tomislav Tomašević, the mayor from the Možemo party. His efforts to address the situation were seen by many as a notable embarrassment, leading to widespread discussions on social media and news platforms.
In addition to entertainment and sports, there was an analytical piece that evaluated the funding strategy for cultural organizations associated with the Možemo party. With Tomašević's administration proposing increased financial support for these ''independent culture'' organizations in the 2026 budget, questions were raised regarding the implications of granting significant financial resources to groups closely affiliated with the ruling party. This has sparked debates over transparency and governance in public funding.
The article also touched on a contentious remark made by Milorad Pupovac regarding the Serbian chetniks in Gračac, which highlighted the ongoing tensions within Croatian society. This combination of sports, culture, and political controversy illustrates not only the interests of the local populace but also the intricate ties between politics and cultural funding in Croatia today.
