The editorial team of the Karlobag.eu portal received a video showing inappropriate behavior of a man on the new beach in Karlobag. The video, whose creation time is not confirmed, shows a middle-aged man masturbating in front of gathered visitors, including children. It is assumed that the incident took place in the evening. Due to the content of the video, we decided not to publish it, and we blurred the "problematic" parts in the photo.

We sent an inquiry for comment to the Ličko-senjska Police Department and the police station in Karlobag, as well as to the municipal administration. However, given the communication ban imposed on our portal by Chief Smojver, we do not expect a response from the municipal administration. We believe that their presence in maintaining order in Karlobag is minimal, and avoiding confrontation with issues of public interest further reduces citizens' trust in this service. It seems that questions not under their direct control are particularly problematic, especially when the media, not funded by the municipal budget, decide to address sensitive topics.

In the video, you can hear people mentioning the arrival of the police, indicating that the relevant services were informed about the incident in real time.

Although we do not want to point fingers directly, it is obvious that there are serious shortcomings in maintaining safety in Karlobag, especially regarding the protection of children. The municipal administration, which should be key in preventing such situations, acts almost imperceptibly. Their unpreparedness and lack of expertise in responding to inquiries and ensuring order further exacerbate the situation and undermine community trust.

This event unfortunately points to a broader problem in Karlobag, raising the question of the ability of local authorities to ensure the safety of all residents and visitors. As a community, we must face the fact that it is time to seriously consider ways to ensure that Karlobag is a safe and pleasant place for all of us to live.
Each of us, but absolutely each of us, is complicit in this situation through our actions or often inaction.

We hope that the person shown in the video has received appropriate professional help, but also that such incidents will not have long-term consequences for all present, especially children.

As soon as we receive responses from the relevant authorities, we will publish them on our portal.

Crime news desk

The crime news desk operates as an independent editorial team that deals daily with topics requiring particular seriousness, patience, and journalistic responsibility. Our articles emerge from many years of experience working with complex stories involving crime, the judiciary, security challenges, and events that shape society in its most sensitive moments. These topics are handled by people accustomed to working under pressure, verifying every piece of information, and understanding the broader picture behind each case.

Professional work in this field is not based solely on monitoring official reports or court proceedings. Behind every article stands the personal dedication of journalists who have followed the development of criminal phenomena for years, spoken with relevant sources, and sought to bring readers closer to a reality that often remains hidden behind short news pieces. The desk adheres to the principle that no story is “just news,” but a reflection of situations that affect entire communities, families, and institutions.

In our work, great attention is devoted to understanding context: how an event arises, what preceded it, what consequences it leaves behind, and why it matters to the public. That is why the texts often rely on the experience of editors who have followed criminal cases for decades, who know the course of investigations, and who understand the work of police, prosecutors, and courts. Such experience enables us to interpret events clearly and responsibly, without sensationalism, yet with enough detail to give the reader a complete picture.

The desk pays particular attention to an ethical approach to sensitive topics. Every word must be measured, every piece of information verified, and every article written with respect for the people affected by tragic or difficult situations. For this reason, our articles strive for balance: to inform without harming, to explain without prejudging, to bring the public closer to what is happening while remaining professional and dignified.

Through everything we do, we seek to maintain readers’ trust by providing clear, accurate, and credible information about events that often provoke concern and questions. Crime reporting is not just a section but a responsible journalistic discipline that requires experience, seriousness, and a deep understanding of society. Our desk is committed to this every day, convinced that quality information strengthens public safety, trust, and awareness of the realities that shape today’s world.
