Split's Dual Image: Viral Video Exposes Waterfront Pollution Amidst Adriatic Beauty

SPLIT, Croatia A recent video circulating online has sparked a conversation about urban cleanliness in the popular Croatian tourist city of Split. The short clip, uploaded by user Bljuzganje, begins with a close-up of a deceased rat floating in polluted waters near a concrete wall, surrounded by various pieces of debris. This initial jarring image quickly transitions to a picturesque panorama of Split's iconic waterfront promenade, bathed in sunlight, teeming with pedestrians, and adorned with lush palm trees overlooking the clear blue Adriatic. The video's stark contrast has elicited strong reactions from viewers. One commenter noted, "omggg CROATIA IS SO DIRTY that's why Split is 80% empty since last month ", reflecting concerns about the city's image. Another user expressed disgust, stating, "tu sam pil kavu prošle godine u 10mj fuuuj kak smrdiiii fuj." While many acknowledged the beauty of the city, the presence of pollution raised questions. A local resident commented, "šta bi bija split bez pantagani " (what would Split be without rats), hinting at a known issue. Another user criticized the act of filming, stating, "Ovo može snimiti i staviti u javnost samo zloćesta, zlonamjerna i krajnje zlobna osoba!" However, others saw it as a necessary wake-up call, with one suggesting, "Pa dobro mora se negdje i on kupati,sta sad " (Well, he has to swim somewhere, what now?), implying a shared environment. The video serves as a poignant reminder that even destinations celebrated for their natural splendor can face challenges with urban waste management, prompting a broader discussion on maintaining environmental standards in tourist hotspots.
