The fire is spreading, and the wind storm is getting stronger, which further complicates the extinguishing process, Index.hr reports.
There are fire crews on site.
The A1 highway was closed in Croatia due to the storm, as well as several other roads.
Borders with Serbia, Hungary and Montenegro were closed.
In Istria and Kvarner, a red meteo alarm is in effect.
