Social inequality in Montenegro and political milestones in Croatia

In Montenegro, Marina Medojević, director of the Food Bank Montenegro, has highlighted a stark contrast between government expenditure and the economic reality of citizens. While state officials report economic reforms and potential wage increases, more than twenty percent of the population lives at risk of poverty. Data from the Action for Social Justice indicates that the central state administration spent over 4.6 million euros on official travel and nearly 550,000 euros on representation in just six months.

In Croatia, Prime Minister Andrej Plenković marks ten years in office. Critics have raised concerns regarding corruption and the government's perceived inability to protect citizens and the environment, specifically citing issues surrounding the PPK Velebit site. Despite economic indicators such as GDP growth and employment rates, public trust remains a central point of debate regarding his administration's decade of leadership.
