Police officers from Slovenia, Hungary and Italy are in Zagreb to assist, for the first time, their Croatian colleagues during the Advent season, when the capital city is swarmed by foreign visitors.

Slovenian, Hungarian and Italian police will be patrolling Zagreb streets with their Croatian colleagues from 18 December to 8 January.

The head of the Zagreb Police Department, Marko Rasic, said on Wednesday that the engagement of foreign police officers would help foreign guests feel even more comfortable and safe during their stay in Zagreb.

This summer the “Safe Tourist Season 2019” campaign involved 95 police officers from 19 countries who helped their Croatian counterparts in destinations popular among their respective compatriots.
