The birth rates are the only important quantitative measurement that determines immigration and emigration flows on the planet in the long term (think in 1000s of years not just one human lifetime). Nothing can fix this number problem, besides forcing, or better incentivizing, Croatians (or any other countries) to have more children.
No industrialized country has above replacement level fertility. The right wing might fix it, since the current left government can not increase birth rates.
But relatively right wing conservative countries like Poland (1.32 Births per Woman), Japan or South Korea can have even lower fertility rates than left wing Sweden or Germany (1.58 births per woman). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_total_fertility_rate
Note how Israel is exceptional, since it the only modern fully industrialized country with 2.8 births per woman (means above replacement, (exponential) growth).
I wish we had more quantitative number discussions instead of qualitative discussions about imigration. How can we increase birth rates? Cloning? Child Money? Religion?
Are these good/bad?

You're implying that populations shrinking is a bad thing. We'd all to better if there were less humans considering the earth's resources are limited and we're already fighting resource wars. Some past societies solved their resource shortage issues through recurring ritualized warfare to reduce population numbers. And our stupid industrial cultures today are artificially trying to increase population numbers despite already limited resources and having convinced themselves that we can create resources out of thin air.
People need to get a grip already.
How is this out of context? I literally saw it on the news

And said article mentioned the historical context of those particular u-turns and that the no cruising signs were removed already in 2011. Now you could argue "why not just keep using these for what these road signs usually are for instead of bigotry" or that it's just virtue signalling to supposedly support a minority while not solving any issues they face today, but at least this choice to remove them wasn't just done randomly.
They are otherwise, it's just removed in that one particular street/neighbourhood because of the context. Theres not gonna be campaigns now to remove all u-turn signs from american streets, tho i wouldn't be surprised if a few from a certain political spectrum were already crying about this supposedly happening.
