Core offering

The Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of the Republic of Croatia is the central government body responsible for implementing Croatia's foreign policy and coordinating European affairs. It delivers consular protection and services for Croatian citizens abroad, processes visas and travel documents for foreign nationals, represents Croatia diplomatically through its global network of embassies and consulates, and supports economic diplomacy to promote Croatian exports. The ministry also conducts multilateral engagement through EU, NATO, UN, and Council of Europe frameworks.

Product overview

The Ministry operates as a government ministry providing public services rather than commercial products. Its digital offerings consist of informational portals and consular services including the Croatian Consular Portal for citizen services abroad, the Economic Diplomacy Portal for export promotion, diplomatic mission directories, and visa services. Additionally, Croatia held the MED9 presidency in 2026, an informal diplomatic grouping of nine EU Mediterranean member states.
