Croatia has largely opened its Adriatic coast to foreign tourists, becoming one of the first EU countries to abandon most of the restrictive measures taken to combat the pandemic.
Travelers from Europe, including Russia, are now required to have a coronavirus vaccination certificate or a negative test for COVID-19.
Nevertheless, the wearing of protective masks for tourists is mandatory in cafes and restaurants, which are prescribed to observe a certain distance between the tables.
Croatian authorities predict that by mid-summer, about 50% of the country's four million people will be fully vaccinated.
Croatia is heavily dependent on tourism. About 20% of the national income comes from the summer tourist season.
