Ivan Turudić, the Chief State Attorney of Croatia, announced that investigations have commenced concerning the actions of Josip Dabro, a representative of the Democratic Party (DP), following the emergence of a contentious video. This announcement, made during an interview with Nova TV, emphasized the active efforts of the prosecution, which has already collected relevant recordings and is proceeding intensively with the inquiry. Turudić indicated that no further decisions have been made at this moment but assured the public that updates will be provided within the upcoming week.

The remarks from Turudić come at a time of heightened tension within the ruling coalition, particularly between the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) and its coalition partner, DP. Prime Minister Andrej Plenković conducted meetings with key coalition partners to address the situation surrounding the allegations against Dabro, highlighting the collective condemnation from various political actors regarding the incident. These discussions underscored the importance of maintaining stability within the ruling majority amid the scrutiny of the actions of its members.

Furthermore, the reaction from other coalition members has been varied, with some labeling Dabro's actions merely as a "mischief", indicating a desire to downplay the severity of the situation. This ongoing investigation raises questions about accountability and the political ramifications for the ruling coalition. As the situation develops, it remains to be seen how it will impact both public perception and the stability of the government in Croatia.
