Municipal budget and political disputes in Prozor-Rama and

In Prozor-Rama, local authorities face scrutiny over budget execution for the first half of 2026. Reports indicate a heavy reliance on hydroelectricity fees, which provided 4.18 million KM of the 8.84 million KM total revenue, while tax revenues reached only 2.06 million KM. Critics have noted a lack of progress in development areas, including water and sewage networks, fire stations, and employment incentives.

In Sinj, political friction has escalated following the City Council’s rejection of a proposed budget rebalance submitted by Mayor Miro Bulj. The Mayor accused the council of blocking urban development projects, such as kindergartens and sports facilities. Conversely, council members criticized the Mayor’s management and refused to fund certain expenditures.

Following the budget collapse, Sinj Deputy Mayor Denis Bobeta accused the HDZ party of political blackmail. Bobeta claimed that HDZ council members’ voting decisions jeopardized funding for local sports clubs and essential urban projects. He alleged that the party is attempting to shift blame onto Mayor Bulj and the Most party, despite HDZ holding a majority in the City Council.
