Split is blocking the sale of alcohol because of the drunken tourists.
The article discusses concerns over alcohol-related disturbances caused by intoxicated tourists in Split during summer nights. Residents report incidents such as drunk behavior, urination in public spaces, sleeping in front of buildings, fights, and loud shouting. These issues have become increasingly visible in social media and media coverage. The city is now considering a measure to ban the sale of alcoholic beverages from 9 PM to 6 AM in retail stores. Data from the Split-Dalmatia County Emergency Medical Service show over 50 calls related to intoxicated individuals in June alone, mostly involving young foreign tourists. The proposed ban would apply to all sales points, including supermarkets, kiosks, gas stations, and vending machines, and could take effect around mid-July if approved. While some residents support the measure, others remain skeptical about its effectiveness.
