During the police inspection of the airport premises, air traffic was not interrupted, and a plane flying from Rome landed in Split at 19:10 hrs, police official Dragan Vranjes reported. He added that at 18:36 hrs the police received an anonymous phone call in which a man claimed that a bomb had been planted at the airport.
The police and airport staff immediately carried out necessary measures and the inspection, conducted by counter-commando units, was completed at 19:29 hrs. The tip proved false, Vranjes said.
