Rijeka
Medium risk
Usually fine, but check local notices
In 2024 the public-health institutes tested 8,881 samples from the public network: 8,018 group A and 863 group B. That was 80.6% of the 11,015 samples in the plan.
After allowed exceedances, 229 of those samples (2.6%) failed at least one parameter. That is 97.4% meeting every parameter that was not covered by an allowed exceedance.
Using the report's parameter groups, 0.5% of samples failed a microbiological parameter, 0.3% a chemical parameter, and 2.8% an indicator parameter. A sample can be counted in more than one group.
Croatia does not publish a city-by-city safety result, so this figure is national. Supplier self-testing was not used for the rating.
