Abstract

During the 1997 - 2001 period seismic activity of Croatia was confined to the previously identified seismically active areas. All together 1925 earthquakes were located. Seismically the most active was the coastal part of Croatia, especially its southernmost part where the Ston-Slano epicentral area exhibited the continuation of the great earthquake sequence after the September 5, 1996 main shock. The strongest aftershock was recorded on April 26, 1997 at 07:30 (ML = 4.5, Imax = VI °MSK). The earthquake with the same magnitude ML = 4.5, recorded in the Zrmanja river valley, near Obrovac, on November 9, 2000 at 03:01 (Imax = VI °MSK). These two events were the strongest ones recorded in Croatia during the studied period.
