Vacation in danger: Man attacks British tourists in Croatia!
Daruvar, Kroatien - A terrifying incident occurred on May 17, 2025 in a quiet bay near Vela Luka, Croatia when a man attacked British vacationers with stones. According to Kosmo, the attack began at around 5 p.m. when the attacker exhausted murder threats and the holidaymakers were in stones. The tourists filmed the terrifying scenes in which he not only insulted the guests, but also damaged their yacht navigation equipment. The boat showed several cracks on the fuselage and a destroyed plotter, as an employee of the lending company Euromarine Dubrovnik confirmed.
The British tourists reported a feeling of fear and helplessness and decided to flee from the bay immediately. It is believed that a misunderstanding may have led to this violent incident, since the attacker had previously interpreted fishing nets, which was unusual at that time. The police have meanwhile initiated investigations into the incident.

A few days after the incident in the Bay of Prihonja, an even more tragic incident occurred in Croatia. In a retirement home in Daruvar, an ex-soldier killed six people, including his mother. According to n-tv this incident was done in a violent outbreak and another person later died in the hospital. In addition, seven other people were injured, three of whom floated in mortal danger. The perpetrator, a retired military police officer, had previously become conspicuous due to domestic violence and public order and was considered to be alcohol -dependent.Croatia's President Zoran Milanovic expressed sharp criticism of the events and demanded stricter control of private weapons. Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic described the crime as "monstrous" and emphasized the need to prevent such violent acts.
social challenges in Croatia
The incidents of violence are also skillfully thrown into social tensions that Croatia currently occupy. According to Amnesty, this also includes the discrimination against LGBTI+ People and the marginalized Situation of ROM*NJA, which often live in informal settlements under extreme conditions. The CERD committee expressed concern about racist discrimination against minorities, which indicates a deeply rooted problem in Croatian society.
The current situation in Croatia urgently requires attention on various social levels to combat the causes of violence, reduce prejudices and to ensure a more harmonious coexistence. The incidents of the past few days illustrate the urgency of these topics and the need for a comprehensive social discussion.
