Adriatic Nightmare: Serbian Tourists Attacked on Croatian Beach!
Imagine going to the sea to relax and ending up in a nightmare! A group of Serbian young men, on June 27, decided to enjoy the Šparadići beach between Šibenik and Primošten. But instead of a peaceful day on the concrete pier, they were met by two men with sticks, curses, and pouring water on their belongings! Yes, you read that right – they were attacked for allegedly being on a “private beach”!
The incident was recorded, showing one man swinging a stick while the other pours water on the young men’s things. Although the police were not called, the aggressive attackers quickly realized they were at the wrong place and retreated. But what does the law say?
According to Croatian maritime law, beaches, piers, and the sea coast are public property and accessible to everyone. Homeowners by the sea are not allowed to restrict access to beaches unless they have a valid concession, which was not marked in this case. So, where is the privacy?
Such situations are not uncommon, especially for Serbian tourists in Croatia and Greece, where they often face unpleasantness. Is this just the tip of the iceberg of intolerance or something deeper?
Why is this happening?
The Adriatic coast is full of tourists, and locals often defend their “peace.” But where is the line between the right to peace and discrimination? Is this a local problem or a reflection of a broader trend?
What does the law say?
Articles 11 and 12 of the Maritime Property Act clearly state that the sea coast is public property of the Republic of Croatia and accessible to all. Homeowners cannot restrict access to beaches without a concession. In this case, there was no sign of access prohibition.
What can tourists expect?
Unfortunately, such unpleasantness can ruin a vacation. But it is important to know your rights and not let yourself be intimidated. Croatia is a beautiful country, but problems exist here too and need to be addressed.
Conclusion
The attack on Serbian young men at Šparadići beach is not just an incident – it is a wake-up call for all of us. Will we allow intolerance and discrimination to become part of summer adventures? Or will we fight for the rights of all tourists and peace on the Adriatic?
