Croatia’s deputy prime minister has resigned after photos were taken of him shooting at a moving car.

In the video, Josip Dabro can be seen sitting in a passenger seat chatting, laughing and singing loud music, before taking a gun and shooting through an open window in the dark.

Dabro, who represents the far-right Homeland Movement party, said the video was several years old and that he had shot training bullets.

It is the latest incident to trouble the Croatian union – which was founded in May 2024 – with the government calling Dabro’s behavior “unfair and reckless”.

In a resignation letter posted on Facebook, Dabro, who was also the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, said he did not want to disrupt the government.

He said he had faced many challenges and threats in planning to change the department.

The photos were announced earlier in the week.

Dabro’s party is in a coalition government with Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic’s centre-right Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ).

Last November, Minister of Health Vili Bros was sacked before a fraud investigation.

On Monday, Zoran Milanovic was he was re-elected as President for a second termwinning almost three out of four votes cast ahead of the opposition Dragan Primorac, who was supported by the HDZ party.

As a result, Plenkovic said “Milanovic doesn’t give anything” and refused to thank him. Croatian leaders fulfill an important traditional role.
