Commenting on the annual report by the SOA intelligence agency, Interior Minister Davor Bozinovic said on Monday that the Interior Ministry had not registered any hacking attacks against the ministry's IT infrastructure.

The minister said that the authorities had not detected any attempts on a large scale by Serbian extremists or Islamic radicals.

“It is a fact that in public discourse there have been certain messages in that regard and that sometimes they are directed against Croatia. However, they have no foothold in Croatia, and as a result no such cases have been detected, particularly not on a large scale,” Bozinovic said, underscoring that the ministry would continue to take preventive steps and promptly respond in any such cases.

Commenting on the current Covid-19 situation, he said that in the past week the new numbers had not risen in comparison to the week before that.

“The number of new cases can either rise or fall, and we hope that the latter will happen.”

The government has procured enough doses of vaccines for all Croatian citizens, and the minister called on citizens to get vaccinated. The higher vaccination rate, the faster we can go back to normal, he said.
