Imagine parking your car in Croatia and not knowing you broke any rules. No warning signs, no notes on your windshield. Four months later, bam! You get slapped with a 60-euro fine, plus extra fees, sent through a law firm from Pula representing the city of Crikvenica. And guess what? That’s just the start! Identification costs and three reminders you never even received push your debt to a staggering 152.50 euros. Don’t pay up? The fine can skyrocket to a whopping 1,000 euros!
This isn’t a one-off horror story. Multiple readers have reported similar nightmares all along the Adriatic coast. Some parked perfectly, even snapped photos of their car and parking ticket, yet still got fined months later. Others paid towing fees only to get hit with new fines afterward. The common thread? The same law firm and local governments with contracts tying them together.
It smells like a well-oiled money-sucking machine targeting drivers, especially those with foreign plates. Complaints and calls go unanswered, debts pile up. Is this just bad luck or a systemic scam?
If you’ve ever parked in Croatia, maybe think twice before leaving your car. And if you’ve already been fined like this, you’re not alone — maybe it’s time to raise your voice. Or at least share this story with your friends so everyone knows what’s coming. Who knows, maybe someone will finally put a stop to this “parking mafia”!
