Županijski sud u Zagrebu upravo je donio odluku o zakonitosti štrajka u Zagrebačkom holdingu. Štrajk je proglašen nezakonitim, dok se odluka u odvojenom postupku koji se odnosi na ZET očekuje u 11.30 sati. Sutkinja Ksenija Jakelić objavila je presudu kojom je prihvaćena tužba Zagrebačkog holdinga protiv triju sindikata koji su sudjelovali u organizaciji štrajka. Sud je sindikatima zabranio organiziranje i provođenje štrajka koji su najavili 18. rujna 2026. godine. Što to znači za Zagreb? Iako je sud štrajk u Holdingu proglasio nezakonitim, to ne znači da će se odvoz otpada i ostale usluge odmah vratiti u normalu. Presuda je prvostupanjska i protiv nje je dopuštena žalba Vrhovnom sudu. Upravo zbog toga današnja odluka još nije konačna. Prema dostupnim informacijama, Vrhovni sud o žalbi treba odlučiti u roku od pet dana od kada zaprimi cijeli spis. To znači da bi se pravna situacija oko štrajka mogla nastaviti i nakon današnje odluke...

The government is set to overhaul its public education funding framework, scrapping the long-standing per-pupil capitation grant system in favour of a cost-based model. Under the new funding model, funding for all public education institutions, spanning primary, secondary, and tertiary levels, will no longer be determined solely by student numbers. The development was confirmed by Dr Kedrace Turyagenda, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Education and Sports, who stressed that the plan is still a proposal under development. “The current model has its own issues, and we think what is being proposed is better. We will be updating the public and stakeholders as time goes on. We are still in discussion, but it will be happening,” she said. Ivan Ogwang, the Acting Principal Economist for Strategic Planning and Project Formulation at the Ministry of Education and Sports, said that if the new model is adopted, future budgetary allocations will...

Malawi’s U-23 football team, the Junior Flames, suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Eswatini U-23 in the first leg of the AFCON U-23 qualifiers on Tuesday afternoon at Bingu National Stadium in Lilongwe. The match produced few clear-cut chances, with both sides struggling to break the deadlock during the first half. Despite making several attempts on goal, neither team could find the finishing touch as the opening 45 minutes ended goalless. Eswatini eventually broke the deadlock in the 73rd minute through Sibonelo Vlakati, who unleashed a well-struck effort from the edge of the penalty area. The shot flew directly into the roof of the net, giving the visitors a 1-0 lead. The Junior Flames pushed for an equaliser but could not find a way past the Eswatini defence before the final whistle, leaving Malawi with a narrow deficit to overturn in the second leg. “It’s not over yet until we...
