Crime rates are low in the southeastern European country, and they are not increasing as more and more foreign tourists come to Croatia, attracted by its beautiful Adriatic coast and the fame it has gained as the filming location of many blockbuster movies and popular TV series like Star Wars and Game of Thrones.
In 2017, Croatia recorded 17.4 million tourist arrivals and 86.2 million over-night stays. The number of tourists from the Chinese mainland reached 160,000, a nearly 60 percent increase from 2016.
According to Tisma, the "Safe Tourist Season" project which started in 2006 has seen many foreign police officers coming to Croatia every summer to deal with tourists-related cases with their local colleagues.
This summer, 87 foreign police officers from about 20 countries are patrolling with their Croatian colleagues. China is the only Asian country sending police officers here.
The Chinese police were not simply patrolling in Croatia. They had put their creative ideas into reality with the support of their Croatian colleagues. Chinese police officer Liang Shukai named language barrier as a major obstacle to Chinese tourists.
After consulting local police, the Chinese language was added to a police form designed for troubled tourists who need to report a theft or loss of valuables, and Croatian police authorities agreed to use the form nationwide.
Flyers with Chinese language was adopted at Plitvice Lakes National Parks. Police from the two countries visited a Chinese shopping mall in Zagreb and answered questions on security and visa policies. The Chinese police also hosted a WeChat group which included many Chinese tourists they met during patrol, in order to offer help while they were in Croatia.
