SloveniaIn Crikvenica, a popular Croatian coastal destination, tensions have escalated between local residents and private beach concessionaires over the misuse of public beaches. Visitors and locals report that concessionaires aggressively enforce their rights by threatening or confronting individuals who use public areas, including sunbeds, which are legally considered part of the public space. One visitor described an incident where he was threatened by a concession employee for using a sunbed on a public area, despite having a legal right to do so. The situation has led to verbal and physical confrontations, with many accusing concessionaires of exploiting their contracts to monopolize public spaces. Legal experts emphasize that while concessionaires can operate sunbeds, they must not obstruct access to the beach for others. Local authorities and communities are criticized for failing to address these issues effectively.
