Šibenik reports infection surge while Novi Sad police arrest kidnapping suspects

In Šibenik, Croatia, medical facilities have reported a surge in patients suffering from acute intestinal infections. Symptoms include abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and high fever. While medical professionals await laboratory results to confirm the cause, there is local suspicion that the outbreak may be linked to salmonella, potentially stemming from pork products purchased locally.

In Novi Sad, Serbia, police have arrested two suspects following the violent kidnapping of a 39-year-old man. The victim was reportedly assaulted and forced into a luxury Mercedes G-Class vehicle with Bosnian license plates. The victim sustained serious facial and head fractures and has undergone surgery at the University Clinical Center of Vojvodina. Authorities state the attack was motivated by a dispute over money and debts.
