Practicalities
Emergency and Medical Help: For medical or other emergencies, dial 112 in Croatia,
Slovenia, Montenegro, and Bosnia-Herzegovina. If you get sick, do as the locals do and go
to a pharmacist for advice. Or ask at your hotel for help—they'll know of the nearest med-
ical and emergency services.
Theft or Loss: To replace a passport, you'll need to go in person to the appropriate em-
bassy or consulate (see here ) . If your credit and debit cards disappear, cancel and replace
them (see “Damage Control for Lost Cards” on here ) . File a police report, either on the spot
or within a day or two; you'll need it to submit an insurance claim for lost or stolen rail-
passes or travel gear, and it can help with replacing your passport or credit and debit cards.

the effects of loss: Back up your digital photos and other files frequently.
