For the Croats, collecting fines is more important than the pleasure of tourists?

The article reports on a tourist's negative experience at a parking lot in Murter, Croatia, where a malfunctioning parking meter led to a fine. The tourist, Matej from Maribor, attempted to pay using cash and mobile payment methods but was unsuccessful. Despite clear instructions on the parking meter, the system failed, resulting in a €16 fine. Matej expressed frustration, stating that the principle of being fined for attempting to pay was more important than the tourists' satisfaction. He noted that the issue was not about avoiding payment but the system's failure, and he submitted a complaint with evidence, but received only a generic response.
