First group of Czech police set off for summer duty in Croatia

A group of Czech police officers have left for Croatia, where they will be on hand to assist the vast number of Czech tourists who flock to the country on holiday each year. Some 14 Czech police officers set off for Split on Monday, where they will work alongside their Croatian counterparts until September 1. They will be joined by more Czech officers later in the season. The Czech police have been drafted in to help with traffic accidents in particular, but will also be expected to work as interpreters. Some 600,000 Czechs are expected to visit Croatia this year. Most are expected to visit Makarska and the Dalmatian coast.
