On Friday, I received an email from Dave, an English backpacker, currently travelling around Europe, who wanted me to blog about his experience whilst in out in Zagreb, with his friends on Wednesday night.

He had just finished eating dinner, and wanted to visit a cash machine, when he got talking to a group of English football fans stood outside the restaurant, having a quiet drink – minutes later, three Croatian police officers came up to the group and started to push them around, and escorted them into the police van.
The group were put in jail cells and later told after being released that the police had arrested a large number of England football fans because they were worried that they would start fights after the game – this has ruined Dave’s Croatia experiences and it made me think back to my travels.
