Wild horses near Livno face water shortage on Kruzi Plateau

Wild horses living on the Kruzi Plateau near Livno are facing a critical water shortage as natural watering holes have dried up due to extreme heat and prolonged hydrological drought. The lack of water poses a significant threat to the animals, which are a major symbol of the region and a key attraction for tourists.

Local citizens and social media reports have criticized authorities for failing to maintain watering holes and for prioritizing tourism promotion over the basic survival needs of the horses. Some reports claim that significant funds have been allocated to the management and care of these horses over the past two decades, yet the infrastructure remains inadequate during dry periods. There are urgent calls for officials to restore and maintain natural water sources to ensure the animals' survival during the summer months.
