Split Patent in Quarantine Awaiting Test Results

The diagnosis is not yet known, but given that he has recently been to China, he has been isolated as a preventive measure. All necessary examinations have been performed, and he will remain separate from the other patients until the results of the findings.

He is currently in the infectious ward in Split. In the event of a positive finding, he will be transferred to the Zagreb hospital Dr. Fran Mihaljević.

Osijek Patient Does Not Have Coronavirus

Subsequent coronavirus tests showed that the 26-year-old Đakovo resident hospitalized in Osijek KBC after returning from China did not contract the coronavirus, according to Index on February 2, 2020.

Alemka Markotić, Director of the Infectious Diseases Clinic Fran Mihaljević, confirmed for the HRT Dnevnik that the tests on a patient in isolation in Osijek for suspected coronavirus showed that the patient did not suffer from the virus.

Test Findings Sent to Center in Berlin

"Yesterday and today we worked on testing blood and the upper respiratory tract. In one test, some of these samples were slightly positive and the other, which we consider to be affirmative, was completely negative both yesterday and today. We are obliged to send a sample for further confirmation to reference centers. The patient is not coughing and is in good general condition. He will probably be under some medical supervision unless the development of the disease is seen," said Markotić.

She confirmed that their clinic had received a test from Berlin three days ago. She explained that coronavirus is quite similar in behavior and molecular characteristics to SARS, but it also differs in many ways and is apparently spreading much faster. She said that it was difficult to distinguish symptoms from the flu, but that coronavirus complicates pneumonia, while that is not the case with flu.

Expects That Coronavirus Will Last Until Spring

Asked if she knew how long the epidemic would last, she replied that she did not know the answer to that question, adding that the virus was spreading by droplet and that it was expected that with the onset of spring the virus should disappear.

A 26-year-old Đakovo resident was hospitalized in Osijek KBC on Saturday on the tenth day after his return from China and he reported a temperature of 38 degrees, after which he was isolated. The rules of the profession dictate that every patient who comes from China must be treated in this manner and have respiratory problems or fever for two to ten days.

February 1, 2020 - The latest news from around Croatia’s airports for new flights to Croatia with updates from Zagreb, Split and Pula. 

Ex Yu Aviation and Avio Radar report that Ukrainian Windrose Airlines has announced that it would launch a new service between the capitals of Ukraine and Croatia.

Namely, Windrose will launch the first nonstop service between Kyiv and Zagreb since the 1980s. Recall, Aeroflot was the last to connect the two cities with a nonstop flight before the break-up of Yugoslavia.

The new route between the two capital cities will run three times per week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, beginning June 2. The new service will be seasonal and run until the end of October, though the airline could reevaluate its frequency given the performance. 

The Embraer E145 jet, which has a capacity of 50 seats, will be used on both routes. Windrose has six aircraft of this type in its fleet and all were taken from the flat of the regional Ukrainian carrier Dniproavia, which officially ceased operations. However, all six aircraft continue to wear Dniproavia’s coloring. Dniproavia flew to Croatia on regular charter flights from Lviv to Pula and Split. 

Ex Yu Aviation adds that Croatia Airlines thought about connecting the two capitals back in 2009, though it never came to fruition. Furthermore, Ukraine International Airlines announced they were looking to connect Kyiv and Zagreb back in 2018, though nothing has come of it yet. 

There are, however, various seasonal connections from Kyiv to the Croatian coast. Namely, like in previous years, Windrose will also fly on seasonal scheduled flights from Kyiv to Pula and Split. Both lines will run twice a week, which is the same as last year. Windrose will fly to Pula on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and to Split on Thursdays and Sundays. The Airbus A321 aircraft will fly to the Adriatic destinations. 

Ex Yu Aviation adds that based on traffic flow, Zagreb Airport has named Kyiv, Basel, Geneva, Riga and Sofia unserved European destinations with the potential to sustain direct flights.

January 30, 2020 - Split City councilors have decided to charge the maximum tourist tax for cruisers moored at the port or anchored in the Split area from May 1st to October 31st. In the offseason, cruises will be charged half that amount.

Thus, Splitski Dnevnik reports that in the heart of the season, Split will charge a maximum of 2000 kuna for ships with a capacity of 50 to 200 passengers, and in the rest of the year, 1000 kuna, while cruisers with a capacity of 1001 to 2000 people will be charged 20,000 kuna during the season, and only 10,000 during the offseason. 

As for the highest categories, from 3001 passengers and more, the maximum 40,000 kuna will be charged from May to October, and in the offseason, 20,000 kuna will be charged.

“The position of the Split City Port in cruise tourism is ideal, as the guest is five to six minutes away from the city center, and that is exactly what they are charged for, for the opportunity we offer them,” said Tonči Blažević of HSLS.

"In addition to the source of funds, utilities are also a management tool, and every entrepreneur working in the season knows that. That is why there should be a difference in tax concerning periods. We keep saying that there is only tourism in the summer, but it has extended for most of the year and by dividing the tax, we can direct this type of tourism towards those months where we have lower attendance and reduce the burden on infrastructure in the peak months. A small step is also a step,” Blažević said, proposing an amendment that charges the maximum price from May to October and the suggested amount in the other months.

A similar amendment was submitted by the councilors of the Pametno party, who suggested that the highest price should be from June to September,  and 50% of the amount for the rest of the year. According to the law, the city or municipality receives 85 percent of this money, and County 15, and by law, the funds raised are earmarked for improving public and tourism infrastructure and for projects and programs for sustainable development. The public consultation was held from December 10 to December 31, to which no objections were received, said Pavo Zaninovic, head of the tourism department of the Department for Economy, Crafts and Tourism of the City of Split.

"This decision takes effect from January 1, 2021, and the city council must adopt the decision by January 31 of the current year for the next one," Zaninovic said.

However, the debate on this topic was very heated.

Recall, Dubrovnik has decided to charge the maximum amount for cruisers from 2021. They expect revenues of HRK 10-14 million per year.

Zadar, for example, decided that for the Gaženica port, which is a large infrastructure project made with state money, they would continue to charge nothing for cruisers in order to increase their competitiveness, but also divert cruisers to a location outside the crowded city center. For this reason, cruisers who want to anchor in the city center, next to the ‘Monument to the Sun’ and the ‘Sea Organ’, will be charged the maximum because it is an attractive location.

January 25, 2020 - The Split Dalmatia County Port Authority is investing hundreds of millions of kuna in landscaping and constructing new ports this year.

Namely, Vecernji List reports that work on the construction of the new ferry port in Sucuraj on Hvar, the most important project implemented by the Port Authority, began in October. According to Director Domagoj Maroevic, the port should be completed in the summer of 2021, and the investment is worth 30 million kuna.

“This is investment is 100% funded by EU funds. Once completed, the port will be able to dock ferries that receive 100 vehicles, while it can now accommodate ferries with 30 vehicles. This will relieve the ports of Gradac and Sucuraj,” says Maroevic.

There are also plans to build a port in Drvenik, which would have started if the local authorities had not abandoned the previously agreed location. The documentation for a new location is now in the process. All this is an overture to the construction of the Drvenik - Ravča tunnel that will connect the Adriatic highway on that part with the A1.

The Port Authority also began work in Kaštel Stari. 

“In December, we started to build the elements, we could not start the external works due to the weather, but we are moving along now. The investment is worth 50 million kuna, about 9500 square meters of the coastal area of the current waterfront and 200 meters of the breakwater will be reconstructed and upgraded. Two hundred berths and about 50 meters of operational shore will be built for the locals,” Maroevic announced.

The breakwater in Kastel Stari is funded by the Ministry, the Port Authority, Split-Dalmatia County and the City of Kastela. It should be finished by the end of 2021.

“The city of Kastela is participating with about 15 million kuna, which is very commendable, and with Kastela, we are already working on documentation for the second phase, the extension of the waterfront by another 200 meters. This is a considerable investment that we haven't had so far,” says Maroevic.

Maroevic says this is the first time a local government unit has been involved in financing the construction of port infrastructure.

“Work is underway to reconstruct and upgrade the marina. We are talking about 170 meters of coast, which is an investment of 13 million kuna. We will upgrade the waterfront, one section that is constantly flooding, and build a seasonal mooring for seasonal residents and boaters. It should be finished by summer 2021.”

Postira is also working on reconstructing 70 meters of the communal part of the harbor and constructing a new 50-meter long pier for boaters. The investment begins at 9 million kuna, and about 40 percent of the works are completed, so it should be finished by summer.

This year, the Port Authority expects to sign a contract for financing the port in Omis, worth 75 million kuna. The works should start by summer, with the approval of the local government unit. The construction of the 330-meter coastal zone in Milna, Brac, will also begin, and a competition has just been announced. The investment is 13 million kuna. By the end of the year, the Port Authority plans to start work in Krilo and Bol, which together cost more than 100 million kuna. A new breakwater, more than 150 nautical berths, and a new catamaran berth are being built in Bol, east of the present port.

January 24, 2020 - Museum Night will be held across Croatia on January 31, 2020. A look at the program in Split. 

This year, the fifteenth Museum Night will be held, an event that began in 2005 with several Zagreb museums, which over the past few years has become the most significant event in Croatian museums. 

Museums have built this event with their programs, an audience that has supported it year after year, the general public, the media and partners. Based on numerous surveys of visitors to Croatian museums and quality records of visits to museums and other heritage institutions, it can be said that more than 5,000,000 visitors have frequented Croatian museums over the past 15 years during the event. One of the most significant achievements of the event is promoting the museums themselves and creating a new audience, as many visitors discover the museums and later became part of the permanent audience.

This year, Museum Night is commemorating two major anniversaries: the 200th anniversary of the Split Archeological Museum, founded in 1820, and the 140th anniversary of the Museum of Arts and Crafts in Zagreb, founded in 1880.

Furthermore, in 2020, it will be 184 years since the founding of the National Museum, the 152nd since the founding of the Strossmayer Gallery of Old Masters, and 142 years since the founding of the Museum of Natural History. 

Thus, the theme of Museum Night 2020 will be an opportunity for Croatian museums to once again remind the general public about the importance of 'museum history, present and future'. Communicating various content to the public - from museum collections, professional, scientific, educational and entertaining content to virtual tours of museum exhibits, historical buildings and protected heritage sites, and digital technologies have opened up unprecedented possibilities for presenting the museums. 

These two significant anniversaries - the Split Archaeological Museum and the Museum of Arts and Crafts in Zagreb - provide an incentive for museums to update the following topics, which are worth talking about more broadly and point to numerous programs at Croatian Museums and Heritage Institutions on Museum Night 2020:

- The relevance of the museum in contemporary society and future development
