For a last few days I was well isolated from every news,...
I will translate article from dnevnik.hr
-------------------------------
METEOR FELT NEAR SAMOBOR?

According to eyewithnesses, it seems like a fire in the sky. Then,  
powerfull explosion, and earthquake. Everything lasts for about ten  
seconds.
Explosion was heard from Samobor and part of Zagreb, and one could  
fell earthquake even from Karlovac. However, ther was no proof that it  
was really meteor.
Some media write that eyewithnessers saw something like "fireball" in  
the sky, which then fell to soil.
Entrance of meteor or something similar in the Earth atmnosphere is  
confirmed for Vjesnik [Croatian daily newspaper] by Korado Korlevic,  
leader of Visnjan observatory.
"Something felt! It would be interesting to find this place and see  
what was it indeed. According to eyewithnessers, which heard also  
acoustic effect, it is possible that fall happened somewhere in the  
Zagreb environment", said Korlevic.
Fireball was seen also from Sibenik, Samobor, Dugo Selo and Jastrebarsko.
---------------------------------


I don't see any proof of meteorite fall. Also, I'm very suspicious  
with this video (so curved trajectory) [I remember one "photograph of  
meteorite fall" a few years ago, which occured in nearly all  
newspapers in Croatia - it was TOTALY fake].
