In this episode, Across The Balkans looks at Croatia, where thousands of tonnes of illegally dumped waste have sparked mass protests. Ivana Rukavina Saric, a member of the citizen group Gospic je nas dom (Gospic Is Our Home) joins the programme and explains what exactly happened in Gospic.
The episode also looks at Serbia, where Belgrade’s public pharmacy network is close to collapse. From environmental safety to access to essential medicine, the question is who is responsible when the systems people depend on begin to fail?
Across The Balkans, hosted by Nadja Muftic, is TRT World’s programme focusing on the issues and fault lines shaping Southeast Europe today.
