Tonči Glavinić, formerly the State Secretary in the Ministry of Physical Planning, Construction and State Assets, has been appointed as the new Chief State Inspector of Croatia. Prime Minister Andrej Plenković endorsed the nomination, citing Glavinić’s background as a civil engineer and his previous experience within the Inspectorate.

Glavinić succeeds Andrija Mikulić, who was dismissed in November 2025 following an arrest in an anti-corruption operation involving suspected bribes related to illegal hazardous waste disposal. The appointment is intended to provide stable leadership to the State Inspectorate following a period of instability and public protests concerning environmental issues.
