Koprivnica: Fled from Police, Then Insulted Them

According to the report from the Koprivnica-Križevci Police Department, on Friday, July 31, 2026, at 9:55 PM, a 37-year-old driver in Mihovil Pavlek Miškina Street in Koprivnica failed to stop at the signal of police officers. When finally stopped, a breathalyzer test measured his blood alcohol concentration at 2.96 promille.

As reported by Prigorski, during the check it was also determined that he was not wearing a seatbelt, and during the procedure, he insulted the police officers with derogatory words. The driver was arrested and brought before the competent misdemeanor court on Saturday. In an expedited procedure, he was fined €2,570 and given a protective measure banning him from driving B-category motor vehicles for one month.

Sisak-Moslavina County: A Series of Violations Without a License

A day earlier, on Thursday, July 30, 2026, at around 2:10 PM, in the town of Petrovec in the Lekenik area, Sisak police stopped a technically defective, unregistered, and uninsured car that was not driving in the middle of the marked traffic lane. Behind the wheel was a 46-year-old woman whose blood alcohol concentration was measured at 2.55 promille.

Further checks revealed that she was not wearing a seatbelt and that she was driving while her driver's license had been revoked and confiscated. Due to a justified fear that she would continue committing violations, the 46-year-old was arrested and brought before the Municipal Misdemeanor Court. According to the portal Sisak.info, the police in their indictment proposal requested that she be found guilty and sentenced to 60 days in prison, a fine of €2,780, and a protective measure banning her from driving B-category motor vehicles for 12 months. After the expedited procedure, she was released, and the verdict will be announced later.
