British border security officers have been deployed to the Balkans for the first time in an effort to disrupt the networks smuggling migrants into the UK. Officers have been sent to develop new ways of working with Frontex, the EU's border agency, to track down and arrest people-smugglers operating along key routes into western Europe. As part of the initiative, UK officers are training border guards across the western Balkans to use British-made drones and biometric tracking systems to track migrants.

Istria is still under the radar with its fishing villages, azure waters, and verdant hills, providing a refined escape from the crowded Dalmatian coast.
