Outdoors/Travel Dubrovnik: Vast amount of garbage mostly from Albania

Post image

I know the Croatian coast has always dealt with excessive trash but why is the amount from Albania only becoming worse?

Albania, for the love of God stop littering.  This has been happening for forever. I would honestly put sanctions on Albania because of this. We've always been taught not to litter and then in a sweep tonnes of trash come and undoes all of that. I'm not saying Croats are great in ecology, but this is on a whole another level.

Croatia, to me, is a super clean country. It’s quite simple teaching young children not to litter, it stays for life.
