Do property auctions exist in Croatia? If not is there any legal reason why they don't.
Likewise with lottery tickets is there any reason why one couldn't sell 100 tickets at 1000 euros each?

David, glad to say property auctions do take place, the last one I know of was about 2 months ago in Split for the Pig Factory in Siveric, it was all a bit of a joke and rather stupidly done, but it was interesting all the same. Immediately before that a lawyer in Skradin (though they were from somewhere like Bibinje I believe) held an "open" auction for a patch of land next to where they're looking to build the new hotel. The next auction is for land in Primosten (Jan. 18th - probably in Sibenik).
As for lotteries, we do them with clubs and they work well, but there are so many restrictions. There was a mention on a thread about gambling, I think Culchie's idea, but it's almost impossible to gain a good foothold. A Canadian group were in 18 months ago with money, equipment and ready to roll, but they were blocked from on high as there were enough vested interests to see a threat from a decent outlet.

what kind of lottery tickets do you sell for 1000 euro each ? Would that be like a raffle ? they do have the standard loto here.

I think it's a good idea if the Croatian Government is in charge of any lottery, rather than privatise it. Italians are mad for lotto, so I'd say there's plenty demand. It will be a real symbol of a new era the day Croatia launches the 'lotto'.
