In the video, Josip Dabro can be seen in the passenger seat chatting, laughing and singing along to loud music, before picking up a pistol and shooting through an open window into the dark.

Dabro, who represents hard-right nationalist party Homeland Movement, said the video was several years old and that he fired training bullets.

It is the latest incident to trouble Croatia's coalition - formed in May 2024 - with the government calling Dabro's behaviour "inappropriate and irresponsible".
