Drone regulation for recreational use

  • Day flight only and keep the drone in sight within 500m
  • A safety distance of at least 30m must be respected with people, animals, roads, buildings, power lines, etc. and 150m for a group of people
  • Stay at a distance of 3km from the airports
  •  It seems necessary to obtain a flight permit from the civil aviation for every drone, you need to make the request 15 days in advance.
  • It also seems that it is necessary to have a license from another service which needs to contact the Ministry of Defense with your flight plan if you want to film with it (maybe there are some things they do not want to see on the Internet…).

More information in English on these two sites: drone-traveller.com and thedubrovniktimes.com.

Given the complexity of the process to obtain a license, I would not take any risk and will not use my drone during our trip there.

 

All these information are given for information only and in a general way, search more precisely depending on where you going to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
