Czechs celebrate Croatian food import U-turn

The Croatian authorities have done a u-turn on a ban which prevented foreign tourists from bringing meat and dairy products into the country. The ban, which will be lifted on July 1, had angered many Czechs, who traditionally bring along their own food during travels to both domestic and foreign locations. In fact, the ban was considered by many Czechs as so outrageous, that it threatened to curtail their holiday travels to that country. Croatia has been a popular holiday destination for Czechs since communist times, due to its relative proximity and seaside resorts. Last year, an estimated 800,000 Czechs visited the country.
