Croatia-Slovenia border crossing re-opens after false bomb alarm

The border crossing between Croatia and Slovenia has re-opened after a bomb threat that stopped traffic on Friday morning turned out to be a false alarm.

Slovenian news website 24ur reported on Friday that police discovered an explosive device on a bus, and that a passenger suitcase was isolated and a Russian suspect detained.

According to Croatia news portal Telegram.hr, the suspicious device was a piano-tuning device.

The report said the police had confirmed that the Russian citizen who was traveling on a bus is a pianist carrying this device in his suitcase.

Due to a bomb threat, traffic at the Obrezje-Bregana border crossing was suspended for about an hour.
