In the Name of the Family, a Catholic conservative group, organised an anti-abortion 'Walk for Life' march on Saturday in the eastern city of Osijek - the latest in a series of similar events nationwide.

Several hundred people gathered in Osijek's old city centre, Tvrdja, then headed towards Ante Starcevic Square, where speeches were made.

Thousands of people have signed a petition against the eviction of a 17-year-old stray cat from its home outside a historic palace in Croatia's tourist hotspot, Dubrovnik.

Anastasia spends her days in front of the 14th-century Rector's Palace in the Old City and is a favorite with locals and tourists.

The Croatian Veterans' Ministry told BIRN that preliminary findings show that human remains discovered at an illegal landfill between the villages of Pacetin and Bobota near Vukovar are those of at least ten people who were middle-aged or older.

There were minor incidents last Saturday, but organizers point out that there will be no banners or speakers this Saturday.
"We are gathering in silence and protesting against covid confirmations, against discrimination and division. We will be in silence, without speakers," reads the invitation to the protest, 24sata.hr reports.

"No one will harvest the fruits of victory because there are none; all that is left is just the bitter taste of a hangover," said a report published in Belgrade-based Vreme magazine after the fall of the eastern Croatian town of Vukovar on November 18, 1991.

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.

After women in the coastal resort city of Dubrovnik launched a petition calling for pregnant women to be able to receive an anaesthetic injection known as an epidural block at any time of day, Dubrovnik General Hospital responded that it is understaffed - a problem exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic.
