Czech police to help Czech tourists in Croatia

Czech police officers are to help Czech tourists in Croatia during the summer season, the Czech and Croatian Prime Ministers Mirek Topolánek and Ivo Sanaders announced after their meeting on Tuesday. Mr Topolánek said the Czech-Croatian negotiations were accelerated by the case of two Czech female tourists, who were reportedly beaten up by Croatian police in September. The Czech police officers are to assist their Croatian colleagues in cases involving Czech tourists. Croatia is one of the most popular tourist destinations for Czechs. About one million Czech tourists visited the country in 2006.
