On Saturday, one of the largest concerts that the world has ever seen in the Croatian Zagreb could take place. A maximum of 500,000 people are expected to show the controversial rocker Marko Perković. That is not much less than the city has inhabitants (almost 800,000).
The authorities are therefore afraid of a collapse of traffic and other infrastructure problems. The Croatian Auto Club (HAK) therefore recommends avoiding the city and the larger area between Friday and Sunday. Not only fans of De Rocker, known under the name Thompson, depend on, but also holidaymakers. It is advisable to avoid a large scale via Ljubljana. If you want to go to the south of Croatia, you have to travel south via Rijeka, the A6/E61 and then via the A1/E65 to the south. Already on Friday there are traffic barriers and diversions, as well as restrictions on the tram and bus network in Zagreb.
The Croatian round point Hrvatska Radiotelvizija described the event as “so far the largest concert in the history of Croatia”. Up to 500,000 people are expected, many of them from abroad. According to German media reports, a 2000 -meter -long beverage standard has been set up for them. Mobile toilets and pissoirs are provided, 100 water points and extra water tanks are available on the site.

Police and save about alarms
Because warmth, barely shadows and hours are expected, the rescue is alert. Doctors have installed their own field hospital with 200 beds in the Zagreber Exhibition Center. Even surgeons and a psychiatrist have service, De Kleine Krant reported Friday. The city hospitals were obliged to form their own crisis bars. The staff must stay on the will, nearly 200 rescue workers are directly distributed at the location.
The Croatian police also have more vigilance. Some supporters of the right rocker are always noticeable with fascist symbols and slogans. The Croatian public prosecutor also investigated Perković himself in 2003, due to the suspicion of incitement. However, the indictment was not supplied, the musician denies the allegations. He was a creditor Christian and Patriot, he said. “I sing about love for my country”. The artist name Thompson comes from a weapon that he has received in the Croatia war.
Concerts prohibited in other countries
In other countries such as Germany, Switzerland or in the Netherlands, the concerts of the Croatian in the past were partially forbidden or accompanied by protests. In Zagreb, the police were now afraid that attacks could occur. At the same time, however, politicians of all parties have announced that they are participating in the concert.
