According to the latest report by the European Environment Agency, Croatia has dropped from fifth to 12th place in Europe's water quality rankings for swimming. The report suggests concerns about the quality of Croatian waters. However, Slaven Jozić from the Institute for Oceanography and Fisheries argues that the results are misleading due to the method of calculation and data presentation, emphasizing that most of Croatia's sea remains of high quality. The assessment includes both coastal and inland bathing areas, and testing procedures involve strict sampling protocols along the coast.
Bias read (Center): The article presents information from an official source (European Environment Agency) alongside a rebuttal from a Croatian expert. It does not take a clear stance or exhibit biased language, but rather provides both perspectives without favoring one over the other.
