The Germans in the vicinity of Poreč set fire to the apartment, which was completely destroyed.

A fire broke out in a luxury apartment in the area of Poreč, Croatia, caused by a group of German tourists who rented the property. The fire completely destroyed the apartment, resulting in damages estimated at around €400,000. The owner, Markica Kikić, stated that the fire started in the kitchen while the guests were entertaining unannounced friends. Despite warnings, the guests brought nine uninvited people into the apartment and did not attempt to assist in extinguishing the fire when it occurred, continuing to party on the terrace. The owner expressed concern that the restoration could take several years and possibly require demolishing part of the house. The fire was sparked by a hot pan placed on wooden flooring by a 44-year-old German woman. Police are investigating her for endangering lives and property. The German family has already left Poreč and been relocated to a luxury hotel, which the owner will have to pay for. The rental platform Booking.com has placed the guest on a blocked users list after verifying the circumstances.

Croatian tourists set fire to apartment: "They showed me the middle while the house was burning"

A fire broke out in an apartment in Poreč, Croatia, caused by German tourists who were staying there. The fire completely destroyed the luxury apartment, which had been owned by the family for 50 years, resulting in damages worth over a hundred thousand euros. The owners described the incident as devastating, especially because the guests behaved disrespectfully during the fire, laughing at them, showing them the middle finger, and mocking them while the house burned down. The police launched a criminal investigation, and a 44-year-old German woman was suspected of causing danger to life and property through reckless actions. The owners expressed their shock and grief, stating they lost everything in just thirty minutes. They also mentioned that the guests did not attempt to assist in extinguishing the fire but continued to celebrate below the apartment.
