Two New Zealanders have been injured in separate alcohol-related incidents in Croatia.

In the early hours of July 19 a Kiwi woman plunged at least six metres when she fell off a wall in Ploce, Dubrovnik.

Police say the woman was drunk and lost her balance.

The 27-year-old suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries, and is recovering in a Dubrovnik hospital.

And on July 18, a Kiwi was among those injured when a bartender set fire to an alcoholic drink and the flames got out of hand. The bar, in Korcula town on the island of Korcula, has not been named by police.

Five people were injured - a local, three people from Australia, and a New Zealand man. Four of them were released after medical treatment, while an Australian man remains in hospital.

Police have filed a complaint to the state attorney about the 22-year-old bartender. He is charged with endangering life and property by dangerous acts or means.
