Recognition of a status acquired abroad

Croatia

Abstract

Recognition of status is becoming a more and more important topic in private international law. New methods develop as case law of the CJEU and ECtHR strengthens the recognizability of a status acquired abroad. This development is also seen in Croatian legislation and is elaborated in the Croatian legal theory, notwithstanding the fact that the Croatian legal system was so far not in the focus of the CLEU’s or ECtHR’s case law. This report demonstrates the current state of play and recent developments concerning status recognition in Croatia.
