Two Koreans, reportedly a father and a daughter visiting Croatia, were found dead in a public park situated in the southeast part of the country.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Monday, a French tourist found the bodies of two Koreans, a man in his 50s and a woman in her 20s, at Krka National Park on Saturday at 3:40 p.m. local time.
The Korean Embassy in Croatia confirmed the two victims were Korean citizens and the diplomats have delivered the news to the bereaved while requesting the local police authority to carry out an investigation.
A Korean police officer dispatched there said the Croatian police will conduct a postmortem to find the cause of the two tourists' deaths. Currently, six Korean police officers are working in Croatia after being sent to protect Koreans traveling there under the memorandum of understanding signed to collaborate on public security in tourist areas.
"The Korean Embassy in Croatia will continue to provide necessary consular assistance and cooperate with local agencies to organize the repatriation of the deceased for the convenience of the bereaved families," the foreign ministry official said.
