Absolutely correct SSK, that is the law.

But it isn't what happened here. The Croatian passengers booking from the UK travelling to Croatia and return paid exactly what a British passenger booking from the UK or a Spanish passenger booking from Spain would have paid for exactly the same journey (booked at exactly the same time). There was no discrimination based on the nationality of the passenger/purchaser. In fact there is no way for FR to know the passenger's nationality until after payment is made.

The complaint is that a round trip journey from the UK to Croatia is a different (in this case more expensive) price that a round trip journey from Croatia to the UK on (aproximately) the same times/dates.

And the price of eggs in the UK vs. in Croatia? Or the price of insurance for a UK resident vs. a Croatian resident?

Also, until 31 May, Croatia isn't part of the EU.
