A guest of Porec started a fire in the apartment.

Owners of a luxury apartment in Cancini near Poreč were left without their property after a fire caused by guests. The police suspect a 44-year-old German citizen of causing the fire through negligence, and will report her to the state prosecution. According to unofficial information, a pan was left on an electric stove while preparing potatoes, leading to the fire spreading throughout the kitchen and the rest of the apartment. The owner claims the guests began acting problematically soon after arrival and brought nine additional people into the apartment despite a ban. Upon returning from the beach, the owners discovered a party and then noticed smoke before realizing the apartment was on fire. Instead of helping to extinguish the blaze, the guests continued to celebrate, laughing, showing middle fingers, and provoking the owners while the house burned. The fire destroyed a luxury apartment spanning hundreds of square meters, with damages estimated at over 400,000 euros. Due to the fire, other guests had to be evacuated from three remaining apartments, and nearly all reservations for the season were canceled. The owners say they have lost everything built over years in an instant.
