Adriatic Zone Poses Problem for EU, Fisherman
Posted in:
SAVUDRIJA, Croatia (Reuters) - A strong northern wind came out of nowhere, forcing a small fishing fleet to hurry back to a tiny harbor that skirts Croatia’s border with EU member Slovenia.
Danilo Latin dismissed the weather quirks with a wave of his calloused hand. “It is normal, the conditions and the catch vary from day to day, season to season.”
The veteran fisherman is more worried by what is going to happen to a protected fishing zone, known locally as ZERP, which Zagreb wants to enforce on its side of the Adriatic from January 1.
