According to MVP figures only 1250 Brits have received permission for the MVP.
Another fact. The most expensive house in the UK sold by Bernie Ecclestone and his Croatian wife, Slavica.
There are so many Croatian living outside Croatia, they as well as you have the right to buy property in many countries, including the UK. Should this right be challenged?

Welcome to the capitalist economy guys; it's going to be a long and rocky road but we'll get there in the end. I think there are a few things woth fighting for:
1. No concrete high rise hotels on the coast. If that starts happening I'll be calling you to join me on the streets with your banners. You should (probably have) seen the disaster on the Spanish and Cypriot coastlines 2. Make conditions as unfavourable as possible for the yob culture of Great Britain - believe me you don't want them. 3. One of the legacies of wealthy city slickers buying weekend homes in the English countryside, is that local property prices are driven up and the local kids cannot afford to live near their families when they grow up and wed. So the community breaks up etc. etc. That would be a terrible thing here - how can it be prevented? (sensible answers only please).

Retired foreigners don't pay taxes but this is the rule attracts them to Croatia. The point is, these people get more disposable income from their pensions by being residents and it is this money that gets spent in Croatia. Local businesses end up with the money for the most part and nobody in Croatia has to pay a penny to attract this "business". Sounds like a win-win to me.

Valiant I think you upset Al, he is quite protective about his number one whinger slot. He seems very happy lately, Jolly must have a special on red wine. actually he has been quite happy because you have not been around.... So why don't you fly away. I think foreigners in Croatia is a good thing as long as it is not over run by them. As long as Croatians still maintain control of their country not foreigners. No one likes to lose control of their home. ;D

45,000 buyers is not a lot. There are properties everywhere. Still for sale year after year. If it gets easier.....We are all good investors. Those of us who have done it. Laughing all the way to the bank...outside the country, of course. Could take a while.

i would only let foreigners livve here if they are married to a croat . i dont like foreigners looking at croatia as a realestate jackpot . the economic situation in croatia is a nightmare and people are selling old dalmatian stone houses to foreigners because they have to and not because they want to . croatia is not ready to sell realestate to foreigners. i welcome other investments to croatia but i disagree with foreigners being able to buy realestate here .croatia is in a unique situaton and cant realy be compared to many countries in europe at the moment ,transitional ex commy country being run by a stupid and corrupt gang of mafia politicians and they are totaly going to ef up this country before we shake them off. it seems to me that they are intentionally placing incompetant people as minister for economics...dr prof scientiset suker and before him ...doctor professor scientist cirkvenac. they go on about how they are trying to get rid of croatias black market economy and yet theyve placed a gst tax in croatia ..that does nothing but encourage the black market. hahahhahha .they have this mentality of filling the budget holes by collecting fines on everything possible. but it hasnt occured to them that by making it easier for people to open businesses and buy older cars from germany or italy or let tourists have a genuinely good time in crotia without being fined for who knows what ...that by doing this ..they can fill the budget hole by collecting taxes rather than fines. and by croatian economic standards ..the new freeway from zg to split is too expensive. if average pays in croatia were over 10.000 kn ..then somehow i could understand the GST . but what croatias economists are doing is breaking our legs before we can have a chance to walk ..and that is doing nothing but causing frustration and and even larger black economy. while we sit and watch our contry being sold off to people who come from countries where the average pay is 15.000 kn or more. this government has to simplify the process of opening a business. it is way to complicated , they have to encourage the return of croats to croatia who can invest and bring their familys here. 4.000.000 people in croatia is a small population to tax and many unemployed to feed .and im absolutely sure that every year in croatia there is less and less tourism. they are obviously crapping about the stats. ive been living on the coast and i see the situation first hand year after year, people are getting desperate to have their apartments filled. and by the way ...zg is very jelous of dalmatians who make money from tourism. and thats why they are even cracking down on people who have apartments on the coast . and not giving building permits to absolutely anybody .im actually aware of some very shifty business in the local council and it is an example of corruption and bastardry at its highest and i wont name names or what is actually going on . but how dare any of these idiots knock anybodys houses down ???buidling permits are only available to a select few .

NOT!!! it's cracking down on ILLEGAL CONSTRUCTION, building without permits and then DEMANDING legalization, together with water and power supply (but 4 free, of course)... they're not interested in sewage, though, they'll just dump it in the sea... and if anyone mentions poor organization of planning, it's not a fault of Zagreb, it's in the domain of local authorities which are not willing: 1. to pay for planning 2. to actually legalize the plans that are already made and paid 4 3. to ensure that the finished, paid and legalized plans are pursued thus, you get a town or municipality council, with a cumulative IQ of 95, and an average 10 years of education, deciding on their own what would be best in their backyard (and filling their pockets on the side) why in the name of Yhvh would they give educated experts that power? the local elections are a joke anyway, nobody votes 4 programs and objectives, the average croatian bloke votes for or against extradicting gotovina on local elactions
