Provjereno showcases investigative journalism reports which focus on social and political problems in Croatia, but is also well known for its experimental reports and its occasionally more light-hearted segments.

Because the show often deals with corruption and crime, over the years many of the journalists have received threats. Despite this Provjereno is credited with exposing many cases of crime, corruption and governmental negligence in Croatia.

Format
