BELGRADE - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic received a group of Serb children from countries in the region on Monday.

Milos Cvetkovic's photographs of the siege and capture of Vukovar go on display at the EndzioHub gallery in central Belgrade on Thursday evening, 30 years after the eastern Croatian town fell to the Yugoslav People's Army and Serbian paramilitaries.

In Croatia you can buy a property in picturesque Legrad for just one kuna. According to the Croatian Radio and Television, inquiries are coming from all over the country, as well as from some neighboring countries.

The epicenter was 29 kilometers northeast of Zagreb and 6 kilometers northeast of Marija Bistrica, "Jutarnji list" reports.
The earthquake occurred at 8:53 hours local time, at a depth of 10 kilometers, according to EMSC data.
'It lasted for a short while, but it felt rather strong', wrote one of the readers at EMSC.

At a press conference held after Vucic spoke with the Serbs in Vrginmost, Croatian journalists insisted on asking "whether he would apologize for the speech he made at a gathering in Glina in 1995."

Namely, Vucic at the time "promised to that the Serb Krajina and Glina will never be Croatia, and that the Ustasha rule will never be able to arrive there."

Some refugees from the Middle East have started to enter Croatia from neighbouring Bosnia and Herzegovina, opening up a potential new route towards Germany and northwest Europe.

About  29,000 migrants have entered Croatia since September 16 when Hungary sealed off its border with Serbia, thus redirecting migrant flow to Croatia, Hina reported, citing figures available as of Monday morning.

After more than 13,300 refugees from Syria and Iraq entered Croatia from Serbia on Wednesday and Thursday, Croatia temporarily closed the border with Serbia on Thursday night. The biggest border passing, Batrovci, is still open for traffic.

Croatian fire fighters, volunteers and the military are trying to put out raging forest fires that are endangering the population and tourist resorts.

The biggest is blazing on the central part of the Peljesac peninsula on the southern coast, in the villages of Pijavicino, Trstenik and Zuljane.

The small and once neglected Croatian municipality of Stankovci - population 2,000 - is in line to get Croatia's first new airfield in decades, thanks to an ambitious mayor working with a big investor.
