NEWS FLASH
Ukraine’s Windrose Airlines has temporarily suspended its service between Kiev and Zagreb until December 13. The carrier has also shelved plans to introduce a third weekly rotation on the route starting this month. At this point, once the airline restores the service, which was launched this October, flights will operate twice per week, however, changes remain highly likely. Croatia has restricted the entry of foreigners from outside the European Union from December 1 until at least December 15, 2020. This includes Ukrainian nationals living in Ukraine.
Well, it was nice while it lasted.
ReplyDeleteObligatory tests are introduced for people coming in Croatia, so no wonder
ReplyDeleteFrom EU, but from non EU you can't enter, test or no test.
DeleteI thought you can enter Croatia from Serbia with PCR. 2nd hand experience.

Delete"Croatia has restricted the entry of foreigners from outside the European Union from December 1 until at least December 15, 2020. This includes Ukrainian nationals living in Ukraine."
This makes no sense. Croatia is not in Schengen so they should have restricted everyone's entry like Hungary did for example. Like this people from major covid areas will enter even with unreliable PCR tests.
DeleteOf course.
DeleteAs i said few days ago ... with same regulation as in SLO, we will see even more cuts ...
DeleteRestricted does not mean banned. People from outside EU can enter, but with restrictions. The restriction here is that they need a test.
DeleteEU members also have restrictions that they need a test, but they can enter and do the test within 48h, and stay in isolation by that time. Also EU members can enter for 12h if in transit, school, work etc, but i guess this is not applicable for air travel.
@12.52 no you are not correct at all. People outside of EU are NOT allowed to enter unless they are EU citizens, regardless of test or not. These are NEW rules. What you are writing about are OLD rules. It would be nice if any of you actually for once read the articles.
DeleteFrom December 1 to December 15, 2020, the Croatian Government has prohibited all border crossings to protect the population from the COVID-19 disease. Exceptions to the border crossing ban are as follows:
Travelers (regardless of their citizenship) coming directly from EU/EEA member states or regions that on are the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control’s Green Listmay enter without restriction and without a PCR test. Travelers who have transited other countries/regions not on the Green List must prove at the border crossing that they did not stay in those transit areas.
Travelers (regardless of their citizenship) coming directly from EU/EEA member states or regions that on are NOT on the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control’s Green List must present a negative PCR test result that is not older than 48 hours (counting from the time of taking the swab to arriving at the border crossing point) or have the PCR test done immediately upon arrival to Croatia (at their own expense) and self-isolate until they receive a negative test result. For exceptions to this PCR test requirement, please see the Croatian Government’s Ministry of Interior webpage.
Travelers coming from third countries who are EU citizens (including Croatian citizens), their family members, or EU residents must present a negative PCR test result that is not older than 48 hours (counting from the time of taking the swab to arriving at the border crossing point) or have the PCR test done immediately upon arrival to Croatia (at their own expense) and self-isolate until they receive a negative test result. For exceptions to this requirement, please see this Croatian Government’s Ministry of Interior webpage.

You are right, I missed this part of the notification:
Delete"Travelers coming from third countries who are EU citizens (including Croatian citizens)" - "who are EU citizens".
With 4.534 new infections today the government has to do something, this has been going on for too long. Madness needs to stop.
ReplyDeleteWhat?! I was told this will be successful?
ReplyDeleteIt was. it's being cut because of new travel restrictions. Read the article.
