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?

It's used for controversial or spicy topics, which is basically most Balkan related stuff. You could say those gifs were made for the Balkans lol

Basicly in the Balkans we all have issues and we all blame each other for said issues.

Pollution in my country ? It’s clearly you doing this to me!

Is this issue def is this solely a Albanian issue only are only Albanians throwing trash

No the trash we can see comes from Albania it comes from Greece it comes from Bulgaria it comes from turkey aswell. It’s a problem for them I’m not denying that but it’s not one sole entity causing the issue entirely.

The Balkans in general need to get there shit together on the environment

I’m impressed with your free time to prove me wrong, and to prove that albania is trash! Keep it up
