"The Croatian Government most strongly dismisses speculation published by the media which cite government sources and insinuate that the migrant wave could take a turn towards the Adriatic. EU countries have been investing joint efforts regarding the movement of migrants so as to find a solution to the migrant crisis. Misinformation of this kind can harm the national tourism sector which, according to current forecasts, is expecting a record high number of tourists, as well as the national economy as a whole, and it may discourage possible investments," the government said in a statement.
The government is actively involved in processes aimed at finding a solution to the migrant crisis and will discuss it with other EU member countries, taking care of the country's security and stability, said the statement.
