There are 37,000 tonnes of waste in Gospić that cannot be removed easily.

Omissions

• The exact figure of 37,000 tonnes is corroborated by several independent media outlets (HRT, Euronews, Reuters, liberal.hr) rather than by a single consolidated official statistical release; these reports largely draw on the USKOK expert report, so they may not be fully independent in origin.
• The Croatian Government (vlada.gov.hr) refers to approximately 30,000 tonnes of waste to be exported for treatment, a slightly different figure that corresponds to the quantity scheduled for removal rather than the total volume at the site.
• Some sources (Euronews, Reuters) state the waste was brought from Italy and Austria, which the MEP did not mention.
