Croatia is country number 23 in Europe to report ASF virus within its borders ever since genotype II entered Europe in 2007 in the Caucasian mountains. Neighbouring Serbia has been reporting outbreaks of ASF virus since August 2019. Other countries in southeastern Europe have reported ASF virus over the past years as well, including Romania, Bulgaria and Greece – in differing levels of severity and occurrence.
