Destination Risk Register

The Republic of Croatia is a constitutional parliamentary democracy. Its legislative authority is vested in the unicameral parliament (Sabor). The president serves as head of state and nominates the prime minister, who leads the government, based on majority support of parliament. Domestic and international observers stated that presidential and parliamentary elections were free and fair. The government took significant steps to identify, investigate, prosecute, and punish individuals who committed abuses of human rights or engaged in official corruption.

The overall score indicates that substantial violations of human rights happen in this country. Compliance with human rights standards cannot be assumed. Particular caution should be exercised. Relevant risks for the tourism sector are, e.g.:

• Threats of violence against members of minority groups, particularly Serb, Romani, and LGBTQI+ persons
• Government corruption
