He pointed out that there will be more than 6,000 policemen on the ground, or about 14,000 people involved in logistics and security.

- There will be detailed controls at the entrance, only transparent backpacks and bags are allowed, and everything will be inspected. It is forbidden to bring in large bags and potentially dangerous items, he explained.

- The police will have the right to inspect smaller bags that will be allowed to be brought in, he added.

"Use SMS messages instead of calls"

He especially appealed to citizens to use mobile phones as little as possible during the event.

- Due to the huge number of people, network overload is possible. We ask citizens that, if they must communicate, use SMS messages to avoid blocking communication with emergency services, he said.

As for the citizens of Zagreb who do not go to the concert, they are provided with reinforced locations for on-call during Saturday and Sunday in health centers, said Bubaš and asked citizens to find information about the locations on the city's website.

- It is very important to have an identity document with you. And the most important thing, if you are a visitor to the event, you are in the immediate vicinity of the Hippodrome, on the Hippodrome or on Bundek, don't call 112. We are there for you, and for the citizens of the city of Zagreb who are not at the event - for them the number is 112, she stressed.

Austrian authorities: "Avoid Zagreb"
