The police in Split-Dalmatia County conducted a three-day inspection of maritime traffic around the island of Hvar and identified 23 violations. The majority of these violations involved unauthorized fishing, with 15 cases specifically related to this offense. Other infractions included operating vessels under the influence of drugs, lack of proper authorization, and operators without necessary qualifications. In two instances, boat owners were fined for entrusting vessel operation to individuals without valid permits. The police emphasized continued intensified controls during the tourist season and urged all participants in maritime traffic to comply with regulations for safety at sea.
