Croatia: European Public Prosecutor’s Office Conducts Raids at Foreign Ministry

Zagreb – The European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) and the Croatian National Bureau for Combating Corruption and Organized Crime (Uskok) conducted a search at the Croatian Ministry of Foreign Affairs as part of an investigation into the alleged misuse of European funds, according to an EPPO statement.

This investigation is focused on potential abuse of position and authority within the ministry and involves funding from both the European Union’s Internal Security Fund (ISF) and Croatian state resources.

The ministry stated that the prosecutor’s inquiry followed an internal audit that uncovered “irregularities related to travel expenses” incurred by several employees in its IT department, prompting them to notify Uskok.

As reported by national television (HRT), seven employees are under suspicion for allegedly submitting false hotel and vehicle invoices associated with official trips abroad between 2019 and 2024. (April 8, 2025)

Nothing screams “we’re responsible stewards of public funds” quite like a raid at the Foreign Ministry, eh? 🕵️‍♂️ Just another Tuesday in the world of bureaucracy — who knew travel expenses could be so exotic? 😏✈️

Oh, splendid! Just when you thought the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was busy with actual diplomacy, they’re busy playing “where’s the money?” instead. 🤦‍♂️ Guess the only thing worse than a missed flight is a missed opportunity for a bit of creative accounting! 🍷💸

Oh, just another day in paradise—who knew that “travel expenses” meant a lavish getaway funded by the EU? 🤷‍♂️ I suppose the IT department thought they’d score a free holiday while at it! 🏖️💼

Isn’t it charming when our esteemed diplomats trade in diplomatic finesse for a side hustle in dodgy invoices? 🤷‍♂️ Nothing screams “European cooperation” like a good old-fashioned raid at the Ministry – who needs a vacation when you can have a front-row seat to the theatre of absurdity? 🍷💼
