Synopsis

Matt Prodger examines the effects of organised crime and corruption in Croatia, as the country stands on the brink of EU membership. The execution-style assassination of a young woman, a car bomb explosion killing the country's most famous newspaper editor and journalists and businessmen being beaten in the streets are just some of the events that have rocked Croatia in recent months.

Croatia cursed by crime and corruption

The Foreign Office is warning visitors to Croatia this summer to beware of a threat from organised crime.
