As one of the largest demonstrations in modern Croatian history, the protest held under the slogan “Walk for Lika, walk for Croatia!”, and organized by the civic initiative “Gospić is Our Home”, brought together approximately 30,000 people from across the country. Citizens recognized that this is not merely a local issue for Gospić, but a systemic failure that directly impacts us all. They gathered to demand their fundamental right to a clean and healthy environment as a prerequisite for the health of present and future generations.

For the second time this decade, Europe is in an oil and gas crisis, once again highlighting the danger of dependence on imported fossil fuels. The diversification strategy promoted by the EU for decades has shown its limits, and the inherent vulnerability to market disruptions and price hikes remains. As a result, the EU has rightly identified that the solution to the crisis is to wean itself off of fossil fuels, and to push forward with electrification and renewables.
The Festival will be held from April 23rd to 25th at the Kinoteka Cinema. The entrance is free! This year, the theme of the festival is ”Where is biodiversity?”.
