Table AII.1 
Economic activities subject to special requirements, 2009 
CREDIT INSTITUTIONS 
Domestic and foreign natural persons and legal entities may st art a credit institution (banks, savings institutions, and buildi ng societies).  
Credit institutions may only be established as joint-stock companie s that exclusively issue register ed shares.  Thus, most of t he provisions 
applying to the establishment, operation, and closure of any jo int-stock company apply also to credit institutions, unless othe rwise 
provided by the Credit Institu tions Act (OG 117/08 and 74/09). 
Business licence 
The Croatian National Bank (CNB) issues a business li cence for a credit institution at the founder's request. 
Authorized capital 
The minimum authorized and paid-up capital is HRK 40 million. 
Branch office A foreign credit institution may set up a branch  in Croatia.  The business licence for the branch is issued by the CNB.  A bran ch office is 
not a legal entity, but it may conduct business within the scope of the founding credit instituti on's authority, which is also responsible for 
all liabilities assumed by the branch office.  The name of the foreign credit institution's branch  office must contain the name  of the 
founding credit institution in the appropr iate case and form, the word branch,  and the place where the branch is based. 
Representative office 
A foreign credit institution may open a repres entative office in Croatia.  This type of office may perform neither banking nor other 
financial transactions.  It may only engage in market resear ch and represent the founding cred it institution.  The CNB licences  and sets 
other special requirements for the establishment and operation of representative offices.  It also  supervises their operation. 
INSURANCE 
Insurance activities must be perfor med by insurance companies.  An  Insurance company can be registered as a joint-stock company  or 
mutual insurance company. 
Business licence 
The Croatian Financial Services Supervisory Agency issues busin ess licences and checks company operations for compliance with t he 
Insurance Act (OG 151/05, 87/08 and 82/09) a nd other relevant regulations.  Foreign legal entities and natural persons may esta blish an 
public limited insurance company on their own or together with do mestic entities/persons in order to provide insurance as their  main 
business object.  In order to jointly cover extraordinary risks, two or more public limited insurance companies may establish a n economic 
interest association to provide co insurance and re-insurance.  If the Insurance Act makes no provision for a matter concerning  an public 
limited insurance company, the general provisi ons regulating public limited companies apply. 
Authorized capital 
The minimum authorized paid-up capital, in  cash and in local currency is:  HRK 15 m illion for insurance operations restricted o nly to 
certain sorts of non-life insuran ce;  and HRK 22.5 million for the remaining insu rance operations including non-life insurance,  life 
insurance, and re-insurance.  The appointment of management boa rd members of an insurance company requires prior approval by th e 
Croatian Financial Services S upervisory Agency (HANFA). 
Branch office 
A foreign insurance company licensed for insurance or re-insuran ce in the country where it is based (registered office) may est ablish a 
branch office in Croatia. 
AIR TRANSPORT 
Services in public air transport may be performed by legal entities registered for this activity, on condition that both genera l requirements 
and the requirements under the Air Transport Act (OG 69/09) and its secondary legislation are met, as well as other relevant re quirements 
under the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and EU regulations.  Air carriers in sc heduled and charter air trans port may 
be organized as companies registered in Croatia for providing air services as their main activity, holding an operating licence  and air 
operators certificate (AOC);  and fully or majority-owned by a domestic legal entity or natural person, or by a natural person of any of the 
European Common Aviation Area (ECAA) parties.  Air carriers must ha ve at least one owned or leased (dry lease) aircraft of adeq uate 
category registered with the Croatian Register of Civil Aircraft , and must meet economic, financ ial, and other requirements, de pending on 
the type of transport.  The Ministry of the Sea, Transport a nd Infrastructure (MSTI) and the Croatian Civil Aviation Agency (CC AA) 
have full responsibility in this area.  Air carriers providing comm ercial air transport services other than the transport of pe rsons and goods 
(e.g. air transport for the provision of hea lth services, air transport for personal need s) must be registered for such service s, have adequate 
equipment and trained staff, and meet ot her requirements.  CCAA issues the necessary licences and certificate of qualification.  
ROAD TRANSPORT 
Approval is required to start business activ ities in:  (1) in-country public road tran sport for scheduled passenger transport, chartered 
passenger road transport, taxi car passenger transport and cargo transport, (2) international pub lic road transport for schedul ed passenger 
transport, cargo transpor t, and (3) service stations.  The certificate of approval for activities  under items 1 and 3 is issued by county
