The article notes that it is speculation.
That said, would not surprise me if it happens but I would expect (or would have expected) an announcement already today, not an announcement tomorrow.

Something they probably should have done last year when Croatia was the only place open.
Delta interestingly is the last US major to announce DBV.

Maybe the premise of the story was correct but the Delta involvement was not. This was posted to that same news site today.

Do you know what Raguza means? Back in the 1500s and on Dubrovnik was considered the wealthiest region in Europe, what Luxemburg, or Lichtenstein would be today. The English use to call their merchant ships Argosy, or in Greek Argonauti. Raguza's expansion to the north established the town of Ston which is considered the world's oldest sea salt production. A kilogram of salt back then was equal to a kilogram of gold, that's how valuable it was. Anyone traveling there definitely need to visit Ston, plus Pelesac is a great wine region where Grgic has his original vineyards. For those who don't know Grgic practically put Napa Valley in California on the map buy winning a chardonnay taste test in France. A movie was based on this, and when Grgic immigrated to the States he brought one grape vine with him from Croatia, true story.
BTW Delta certainly is starting JFK service, should be announced any day now. .

With the other carriers going to DBV, why didn't Delta do something different, such as flying to SPU? Split is one of the neatest places I've ever been to. The world's oldest Catholic cathedral is there (which is built over the masoleum of the Roman dictator Diocletian, who engaged in severe persecutions of Christians in the early 4th century); much of downtown Split was once part of Diocletian's palace. Split has a connection with Notre Dame, as the late great sculptor Ivan Mestrovic owned a villa there which is maintained as a museum displaying his work (Mestrovic spent the last seven years of his life as sculptor in residence at ND).
For those going to Croatia, get a bottle of Pelinkovac and slowly sip it while the world goes by. Good stuff!!!
