Croatian referendum narrowly upholds TV license fee by 692 votes

A Croatian referendum on abolishing the public broadcaster's license fee failed by a razor-thin margin of 692 votes, with 461,073 in favor and 461,765 against. The result is a narrow endorsement of the status quo, but the close outcome signals significant public discontent and potential for future legislative challenges. The low turnout and tight margin may embolden opponents to pursue alternative funding reforms.
