Another 4.2 magnitude earthquake struck Croatia on Sunday afternoon, local press reported.

The epicenter of the earthquake was in Gracac, central Dalmatia, 51 kilometers from Zadar, at a depth of about 10 kilometers. The earthquake was felt by the population of Dalmatia and Lika, and no reports of damage were received, the MTI wrote.

Seismologist Kresimir Kuk told reporters that the earthquake is not related to the Zagreb epicenter.

The Croatian capital and its surroundings were shaken on March 22 by an earthquake. In the 5.6 earthquake and then 5.1, which was half an hour apart, many buildings were damaged and more people were injured. The uproar damaged 25,000 buildings in and around Zagreb. The cathedral, symbol of the Croatian capital, parliament (government) and government, as well as several churches and cultural heritage buildings, have suffered core damage. People had to be evacuated from various hospitals.

In August, the European Union contributed 88.9 million euros (approximately 31.3 billion HUF) to the recovery from the great earthquake in and around Zagreb.

The Croatian camp passed a reconstruction law last week. The state supports 60 percent, the municipality 20 percent supports the restoration of private buildings, and the remaining 20 percent must be owned by the owners. Of the victims who live on a minimum wage and do not have significant assets, the state and municipality take over the deductible.

In Zagreb, the aftermath of the March earthquake continues. Experts recorded around two thousand aftershocks, a quarter of which were palpable. Currently, 6,000 buildings are not safe, including several kindergartens, elementary schools, high schools, universities, cultural and scientific institutes.

One of the most severe earthquakes in Croatia, with a magnitude of 7.6, occurred in Dubrovnik on April 6, 1667, 350 years ago, and destroyed almost the entire city. Half of the population, some 3,000 people, lost their lives. A 6.3 magnitude earthquake in 1880 also hit Zagreb. The following year, 185 aftershocks were recorded in the capital, and a part of the population moved to Vienna, Graz, Maribor, Celje, Ljubljana and Trieste.
