One of the highest paid ice-hockey players in the world danced the night away in the Culture Club, Revelin in Dubrovnik last night. P. K. Subban plays for the Nashville Predators in the National Hockey League, in fact he has just signed for the Predators from his former club the Montreal Canadiens.

The ice-hockey star was almost immediately recognised by American and Canadian tourists in the popular Dubrovnik night spot and was more than willing to pose for photos and sign autographs. P. K. Subban and his friend were in the VIP section of the club and according to sources danced until the early morning hours, he also got up on stage and waved to the massed partygoers. Last night was a special night as the mega-popular British DJ, Doorly, was performing and quite clearly P. K. Subban had an evening to remember.

Apart from recently signing a multi-million dollar contract with the Nashville Predators P. K. Subban also won a gold medal with Canada at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

An international jury has made a decision on the final solution for the design of a future passenger terminal in the Port of Dubrovnik on 28th of June, 2016. Twenty proposals have been received and only one has been selected by the international jury after a whole day of consultations.

The new passenger terminal will be built by the French-Turkish consortium Dubrovnik International Cruise Port Investment. It is a joint venture with the Turkish company Global Ports Holding and the French Bouygues Batiment International. The main focus of the French group is construction and the Turkish group Global Liman Isletmeleri A.S. specialises in development and management of cruise and trade ports.

The consortium was granted a 40-year concession on the port for which they will spend 25 million Euros in concession fees and invest almost 94 million Euros in the construction of the new passenger terminal.

Apart from a new cruise ship terminal this project also includes a shopping centre, a new international bus terminal and 700 parking spaces on the area of around 25,000 square meters.

The value of the concession is estimated at 750 million Euros and the construction on the new terminal is to start in the autumn of this year and should be completed by the end of 2018.

The Dubrovnik Port Authority began looking for a strategic partner for the terminal in September 2014 and last autumn accepted the only offer, submitted by Dubrovnik International Cruise Port Investment.

Antun Asic, the Dubrovnik Port Authority manager, Arpak Demircan, the Management President of Dubrovnik International Cruise Port Investment and Dragos Victor Stefanescu, the Management member, signed a preliminary contract on the concession for constructing and using of the passenger terminal in Gruž at the Croatian Ministry of Maritime Affairs, Transport and Infrastructure in February this year. The final deadline for signing the contract is due for October 2017.

After three years of membership in the EU, Croatian cars will finally get new registration plates. The standard number plates in Croatia consist of a two-letter city code which is separated by the crest of Croatia from three or four numbers and one or two letters.

The Croatian Ministry of the Interior has announced that a new Regulation of Registration and Licensing vehicles regarding the new number plates will be enacted by law on Monday, the 4th of July, 2016.

According to the Road vehicles (Registration and Licensing) Regulations, the new number plates will be in accordance with the EU design standards. A blue vertical rectangular has been added on the left side of the standard number plate with a mark of the country's EU membership (''the European logo') on the top of the blue rectangular and a national mark for Croatia – HR on its bottom. Registration space remains as it was so far.

When the issue of the new registration plates starts, drivers will not have to change their standard ones because those registration plates will be changed gradually i.e. in cases of regular changes such as a first registration, a change of issuing region or in case a number plate has been lost, stolen or damaged.

As far as the pricing is concerned, almost all types of number plates will be cheaper with the enforcement of the new Regulations. The price for standard registration plates has been decreased from 76 Kunas to 65 Kunas and the price for customized plates has been decreased from 378 Kunas to 278 Kunas. Transferable licence plates have also become much cheaper; the current price has been decreased from 920 Kunas to 278 Kunas.

SPOILER ALERT - If you are a fan of Knightfall or don’t want to know too much about the filming in Dubrovnik stop reading now!

The American History Channel is currently filming their next blockbuster serial Knightfall in Dubrovnik. Explosions, sword fights and wooden galleons have featured as the production team have turned the Bay of Pile directly outside of the historic city walls of Dubrovnik into a scene from The Crusades.

This new ten-episode production comes hot on the heels of the acclaimed serial Vikings and the History Channel hope that Knightfall will be just as successful. The plot follows the Templars and their quest for the Holy Grail. The renowned actor Jeremy Renner will play one of the main roles and is also the producer; however we have yet to spot Renner in Dubrovnik.

Dubrovnik is a fitting location for the serial as according to legend King Richard the Lionheart was left shipwrecked in 1192 on his way back from the crusades and was saved by swimming to the island of Lokrum in front of the city. He vowed to build a cathedral on the place where his foot touched land; however the Republic of Dubrovnik convinced him that the city was a much more suitable location for such a worthy gesture. The legend suggests that the English King then gave gold to build the first cathedral in Dubrovnik, at the time the most expensive cathedral in Europe.

The new History Channel series Knightfall certainly looks like being another hit off the production line. And after the filming of the HBO Game of Thrones and the eighth episode of Star Wars in Dubrovnik this next mega-serial will bring more attention to the city, what will be the next role for “Hollywood on the Adriatic,” we await with bated breath.

Some people are just so overwhelmed with the view of Dubrovnik that they feel they have to get back to nature, to the bare necessities.

This revealing photo appeared on Instagram today with the title “Plotting to conquer King’s Landing in Dubrovnik along the Croatian Coast,” from an obvious lover of the HBO serial. How he was planning to conquer King’s Landing with nothing but his birthday suit on will remain a mystery. Maybe he has a secret weapon?

It is certainly a novel and unusual way to have your photo taken with Dubrovnik, we are just happy that he didn’t decide to take a selfie! The bottom line is he loves Dubrovnik.

Bottoms up!
