Austria Issues Travel Warning for Croatia, Effective Aug. 17

(Bloomberg) -- Austria is warning against travel to Croatia, a major holiday destination and home country of many Austrian immigrants, effective Aug. 17, the foreign ministry said on Twitter.

The highest-level travel warning means that the government advises Austrians not to travel to the country, and urges those still there to return to Austria as soon as possible, according to the ministry.

Austria already has a travel warning for most of the former Yugoslavian countries, but had left off fellow European Union member states Croatia and Slovenia so far.
