A Zagreb resident expressed frustration on Reddit about the lack of response after reporting storm damage to a grave site in March. He questioned the procedure and deadline for submitting documentation for financial aid.

In comments, another user shared a similar experience, stating that the person who initially contacted them about car damage was now unreachable. The city recently issued a public call for documentation to process financial aid for damages sustained by grave sites due to storms between March 26-28.

I reported damage to the grave site after that storm in March and still haven't received any feedback on that report.

Individuals eligible for financial aid must be users or co-users of the damaged grave site. Applications must be submitted by July 1 to the Zagreb Holding's City Cemeteries branch, following a call published on April 8. The aid covers 50% of the damage, capped at 3,000 euros per grave. Only one co-user can receive the funds, with consent from all others listed on the grave registry or usage rights certificate.

Same, the woman who came to photograph the car and who first contacted me when we got in touch no longer answers the phone and her mobile is permanently switched off.
