(ANSA) - ZAGREB, JULY 3 - Croatia, which has been working for
several weeks on planning different ways to save at least part
of the tourist season, today opened special lanes at border
crossings for the fast entry of tourists already registered in
the digital system of the Interior Ministry. The country opened
its borders to all EU citizens a month ago, introducing some
restrictions for those arriving from the hardest-hit countries
by the coronavirus pandemic. From these countries, including
Italy, it will be possible to enter Croatia on proven economic
reasons, among which are those for tourism purposes, if proof of
hotel reservation or other accommodation is exhibited at the
border. If you wish to speed up your entry, you'd better report
your arrival by filling out a form available on the multilingual
website entercroatia.mup.hr, designed by the Croatian Interior
Ministry. Pre-registered travelers can now access the special
lanes at the four main crossings on the Slovenian-Croatian
border, including Rupa (from Italy to Rijeka and Dalmatia) and
Plovanija (from Italy to Istria). The goal is to speed up
verification times and avoid long queues. In the past week, more
than a million people have entered Croatia using the
pre-registration system, more than half of them to enjoy a
tourist stay on the Croatian Adriatic coastline. (ANSA).
