Postman from Čapljina reportedly flees to Thailand with pensions
A postal worker from Višići near Čapljina, identified as Stipe Jukić, has reportedly disappeared after allegedly taking approximately 50 pensions intended for local retirees. While his mother reported him missing, reports suggest he traveled through Mostar and Sarajevo before heading to Thailand.
Hrvatska pošta Mostar has launched an internal investigation into the matter. Although the exact amount of missing funds is unconfirmed, unofficial estimates suggest the value of the undelivered pensions is around 27,000 KM. The affected pensioners have since been paid through other means.
The unusual case has sparked a controversial and humorous crowdfunding campaign on the 4fund platform. The campaign, which aims to raise 15,000 euros, seeks to fund a return flight from Bangkok to Sarajevo, sunscreen, and a lawyer. Despite the serious nature of the alleged theft, some members of the public have responded with jokes and support for the worker's perceived adventure.
