MFAEI handed diplomatic note to Slovenian Embassy, confirming reciprocity in real estate acquisition
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration would like to report that a diplomatic note was handed on 26 March 2007 to the Slovenian Embassy in Zagreb, in which the MFAEI confirmed the existence of reciprocity in real estate acquisition, pursuant to which the Slovenian citizens and legal persons will be able to acquire, based on the Property Law and other proprietary rights, real estate in the Republic of Croatia, in the same way and under the same conditions as the Croatian citizens and legal persons will be able to acquire real estate in the Republic of Slovenia
After the Republic of Slovenia amended its legislature in June last year and created the conditions for the citizens of EU candidates to acquire real estate in Slovenia, Croatia and Slovenia began consultations on the content of the Slovenian legal provisions, their interpretation and the ways of their implementation, so as to determine whether the Croatian citizens and legal persons can respectively, pursuant to those amendments, acquire real estate in Slovenia. After the Slovenian side provided the necessary explanations and unequivocally confirmed that all Croatian citizens and legal persons can acquire real estate in Slovenia, conditions were created for the confirmation of the existence of reciprocity in real estate acquisition between the two countries. Therefore, the MFAEI sent today, 26 March 2007, the appropriate diplomatic note to the Slovenian side, confirming the existence of reciprocity in real estate acquisition, pursuant to which the Slovenian citizens and legal persons will be able to acquire, based on the Property Law and other proprietary rights, real estate in the Republic of Croatia, in the same way and under the same conditions as the Croatian citizens and legal persons will be able to acquire real estate in the Republic of Slovenia.
