SHARK ATTACKS IN ADRIATIC: They killed 9 swimmers in 150 years, one Serb was among them

Summer has arrived, the bathing season, and with it, fear from sharks, which are present in the Adriatic sea. There are around 30 species of them and only two are dangerous for men.

Experts assure us that the chance of being attacked by shark is one to 11 million. That small chance happened few times in the Adriatic. If it could manage to find its way to the shallow water in Palma de Mallorca - many wonder of it could swim to the our Adriatic beach?

The truce lasted till 2008 when a 43 year old Slovenian swam with his catch, amberjack, just 10 meters from the shore when he was attacked by 5 meter long shard. The Slovenian defended himself with harpoon, but the shark has bitten his leg. He was saved with quick medical intervention.

No cases have been recorded in Croatia in the past nine years
