The video has almost 800 comments and over 5000 reposts, and most Croatians explain that they have never heard of this, and that it is a hoax because Legrad is not even close to Dubrovnik.
Although the video insinuates that it is about the coast, and at least Dubrovnik, where real estate is actually the most expensive in Croatia, it is not a complete deception. Namely, in Croatia, only a few hundred kilometers away from Dubrovnik and far from the coast, houses are actually sold for this price.

Specifically, it is about Legrad which is located only 721 kilometers from Dubrovnik. This municipality on the very border with Hungary, not far from Koprivnica, is truly in opened a new round of tenders for selling houses for 13 cents.

The municipality of Legrad in the Croatian Podravina is hereby trying to improve the demographic image of the tame village along the border with Hungary. Otherwise, this measure five years ago brought concrete results. Namely, five houses have already been sold for 13 cents, and young families from Pula and Zagreb have moved to Legrad. Refugee families from Ukraine are also reportedly interested in resettlement.
According to the latest population census, Legrad has 1938 inhabitants, and about 150 people, mostly families with children, passed through this and other demographic measures.
If you are not punished, You're not here housing issue resolved and you want to become the owner of one of the offered properties in Legrad, you must be younger than 45 years old, to have 13 cents, but also a little more euro for the mandatory arrangement of the property.
