Croatia reported ASF for the first time in the country in June 2023 near the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina. In total, 31 outbreaks have already been reported so far this year.

In Greece, outbreaks had already been detected in wild boar. There was a second outbreak of ASF detected in April after the Greek authorities detected a single case in a backyard farm in 2020.
