Zagreb County

Ljubljana – A 6am-6pm ban on overtaking for lorries on the A1 motorway between Šentilj and Koper entered into force on Friday. Police controls will be beefed up.

The new regime will be in place for lorries weighing more than 7.5 tonnes. Overtaking will still be allowed for these vehicles during the day in three-lane sections, and on the entire motorway in night time.

The Croatian Office for the Suppression of Corruption and Organised Crime, USKOK, announced on Monday that it will instruct the police to investigate suspicions of possible negligence and other failings during the post-war reconstruction of buildings that were badly damaged by the powerful earthquake that hit the Banovina area of Sisak-Moslavina county in central Croatia last week.

"The government is currently facing two crises, COVID-19 and earthquakes, we decided today to declare a catastrophe in the Sisak-Moslavina County, parts of Zagreb and Karlovac County, but also to form a Crisis Staff headed by Tomo Medved. Representatives of all will be included. Milosevic and Horvat will be the deputies", Plenkovi said, as Jutarnji reports.

Another earthquake was felt at around 7:50 am in the area of Petrinja and the surrounding area, with a magnitude of 4.5 on the Richter scale.
The quake was also felt in Zagreb, reports Index.hr.

Croatia's Seismological Service on Wednesday at 6.15am, 6.26am and 6.29am recorded three more earthquakes centred not far from the town of Petrinja, some 60 km south of Zagreb - the town which was seriously damaged by powerful quakes on Tuesday that killed at least seven people.

A search for survivors in Croatia stretched into the night on Dec. 29 after a powerful earthquake killed at least seven people in the country's interior, tearing down rooftops and piling bricks in the streets.

According to the latest information, seven people were killed, including two children. There are two Serbs among them, said the president of the Serbian National Council, Milorad Pupovac.

According to the EMSC, the earthquake was 6.3 on the 46 kilometers from Zagreb. There are five victims in Croatia.
The earthquake was felt in our country, but also in the region - it was reported in Banja Luka, Zagreb, Vukovar and Split.
After the first, another earthquake followed, which was weaker - 4.5 degrees.
The quakes also hit North Macedonia and Greece.

After a severe earthquake struck the Croatian capital Zagreb in March this year, another series of slightly smaller quakes hit the country south of the capital on Monday.

The strongest one with a magnitude of 5 on the Richter scale had its epicenter some 12 kilometres southwest of Sisak, 60 km south of Zagreb.

Valuable exhibits have been damaged at many of Zagreb's museums by the earthquakes that rocked the capital on Sunday.

The Archaeological Museum in Zagreb, which has over 450,000 different artefacts, said on Monday that it has sustained "severe damage to its permanent display and objects".
