OVERVIEW

As a consequence of the conflicts on the territory of former Yugoslavia in the 1990s, an estimated 550 000 people were displaced within Croatia. Between 1991 and 1995, approximately 250 000 minority Serbs fled Croatia. To date, the authorities have registered 133 140 returnees of Serbian ethnicity to and within Croatia, equating to around half of those who fled their places of origin. Meanwhile, over the 1992-1995 period, the country received approximately 400 000 refugees from Bosnia and Herzegovina, of which an estimated 120 000 have since acquired Croatian citizenship.

The Regional Housing Programme (RHP) was launched by Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Serbia in 2012 with the objective of providing durable housing solutions to vulnerable refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs) and returnees, either in their places of origin or of displacement. The RHP came to a successful conclusion in 2023, having provided secure homes to 382 families (934 persons) in Croatia.

IMPLEMENTING STRUCTURE



LEAD INSTITUTION

MINISTRY OF SPATIAL PLANNING,
CONSTRUCTION AND STATE ASSETS

From February 2023 until the end of the RHP in December 2023, the Lead Institution in Croatia was the Ministry of Spatial Planning, Construction and State Assets. Prior to that, the Lead Institution was the Central State Office for Reconstruction and Housing Care (CSORHC), which was established by the Government of the Republic of Croatia in May 2013 to manage, among other things, the implementation of reconstruction and housing projects for returnees, refugees and former tenancy right holders. In February 2023, the CSORHC was integrated into the Ministry of Spatial Planning, Construction and State Assets, and all tasks within the scope of the CSORHC were taken over by the Ministry.
