Is Croatia Becoming Unsafe Ground- by Lajla Minaric and Daria Lesic

Although Croatia is a country with much natural beauty, life in Croatia has become increasingly unsafe in the past several years. While the media are mostly reporting about robbery in privatisation and embezzlements, it seems that they are not concerned with the fact that citizens’ lives are increasingly at stake. Robberies of banks, betting offices and financial offices are becoming more frequent. But what is most tragic, is that so are human victims. Last year alone there were 308 betting office robberies, 26 bank robberies, 18 post office robberies, 14 exchange office robberies and 19 Croatian Lottery office robberies. Today every financial institution has at least one security guard in their offices.
