• The US announced Croatia as a strategic partner in the Pantheon AI project, a data center worth up to $50 billion near Topusko.
  • Scientist Korado Korlević expressed deep doubt about the project’s feasibility, citing lack of energy and infrastructure.
  • Korlević claims the center would consume half of Croatia’s electricity, requiring two large power plants to supply it.
  • He believes most of the money will not stay in Croatia, as equipment and services will be provided by foreign companies.
  • He warns of potential electricity price increases for citizens, as happened in the US state of Georgia.
  • Korlević and host Elvis Mileta made a bet on whether the project will ever be realized.
