The first night of the Ultra Europe festival in Split saw emergency services respond to 50 calls, with four individuals requiring hospitalization.

From that number, two ended up in the Emergency Surgical Department due to falls, and two people in the Internal Medicine Department due to increased consumption of alcohol and stimulants.
