Croatia, Montenegro tighten virus rules in tourism season
The Peninsula
ZAGREB, Croatia - Croatia and Montenegro have tightened rules against the new coronavirus along the Adriatic Sea coast amid a rise in infections and in an effort to save the summer tourism season.
Croatia said Friday that starting next week the number of people at gatherings will be limited, while Montenegro temporarily closed down night clubs and discotheques. Tourism is key for the economies in both countries, particularly after a bad season last summer. While vaccination has reached nearly 50% of Croatia's 4.2 million people and around 36% in Montenegro, a country of 620,000 people, officials say this is far from enough.More Related News
