CroatiaA representative from the Most party, Marin Miletić, has accused the Ministry of Sea, Transport, and Infrastructure and the concessionaire of misleading the public regarding the fencing of Costabella beach near Rijeka. He claims that documents will be presented in parliament showing that the government's 2015 agreement with Hilton required unobstructed and free access to the beach. The ministry denies these allegations, stating that the fencing was permitted under regulations valid at the time. The company managing the complex, JTH Costabella, criticized Miletić's actions as incorrect interpretations of the law. Costabella is not the only beach in Croatia with such a concession; according to data from the Ministry and the Beachex project, 15 beaches across Croatia have concessions allowing fencing or entry fees under old regulations. These concessions vary by region, with some expiring soon due to new legislation banning beach fencing. A new maritime asset law passed three years ago now limits beach concessions to a maximum of five years.
