Hvar Finds Loophole to Open Shops on Holiday

The Hvar mayor has declared June 11, Corpus Christi feast a market day in the town of Hvar and in that way found a loophole in the law that allows for shops to be open on a state holiday. Meanwhile, owners of shops in Dubrovnik’s Stradun have shown their disapproval of the shops having to remain shut on a holiday by placing banners WELCOME TO CROATIA – CLOSED in their shop windows.
