Adriatic community sounds the alarm: Foreigners are illegally covering the coast with concrete. Adriatic residents are fighting against foreigners: There are said to be over half a million black buildings in Croatia.
There are the building inspectorate, the Ministry of the Environment and the Coast Guard. But they apparently don't do enough. A whole inspector is responsible for the whole of Istria's beach construction. And there is still no end to the wild profits that construction companies and real estate sharks make from the properties.
