Hello everyone,
As a proud croatian i am very disappointed. Too many people are selling their precious on coast land to foreigners. I have no problem with the British and Irish, but I dont want to come to croatia in 10 years and see the real croats on the suburbs of croatia while foreigners have the coast land...i think its a dumb move.
Anyone have a comment??Feel free to post ;D

Well, before the foreigners have all the land it will take a while, but I agree, a limit should be set. What you want to avoid is killing the local economy by selling everything to foreigners who are not there at all. It is a bit difficult for working people to find a place to live if that might happen. And some don't even know it, but for most workers in the summertime it is already difficult. They sometimes sleep with 2 in a bed on a small room and have to pay 2000 Kuna for a month, but they have no option if they want to work.
Would love to see what would happen if the tourists also bought those beds...............the tourists would be without service because the workers have no place to stay !!!

Way to go yet, I think. As most everyone Croat I have met has two properties, loads of land, all unregistered, because they can't afford the cost of registering it. And no-oe is yet on their necks to register it. It's all very strange. Very, Croatian.

what do you mean by very croatian?? true i agree they cant afford it but that doesnt mean they have to sell it all to foreginers. sell it to other croats or keep it in the family rather then to a stranger...

Many Croat families have land and it is registered. If you go to the kataster they will be able to tell you which family owns which piece of land. The biggest problem is the following: How to figure out who in the family owns which part ? This process can take years, because the land has to be measured (never understood why, since it is already in the register, so why measure it again), then everybody has to sign, people live abroad and cannot be found, then they have to provide all kind of documents which serve no purpose whatsoever, has to go to the notary, lawyers come in play, then registration......as I said, takes forever. The process could be simplified easily, but that would put a lot of people out of work and........why do it the easy way if you can also do it the difficult way

There you go you see, you don't want to get involved too much, and then some dumb ass asks a stupid question. Okay. The answer. They have it, they have never worked for it, they have inherited it and, after all that, they cannot even be bothered to register what is theirs, legally. Maybe legally. If they can find the paperwork somewhere. If it ever existed. That is what I call, very Croatian. I have a Croatian born duo locally, close to me, whos family in the UK are insisting they renovate their property, so it is okay for when they inherit it. And they know they will inherit it. Even though these people are both over 70, and don't want renovating. I would tell them to go work for what you want and leave me alone. But, and yet again, this is this great Croatian family thing I hear so much about. And yet how many families are fighting in blood over these inheritences. Many of which the trail has gone cold when Croatia was Yugoslavia. Croatia for Croatian. I am for that. Look at the UK. Who owns it? But, some of this so called progress you just cannot stop. But I see no progress. I've been here 2 years. No-one is queueing up to give me a profit. Croat or none-Croat.

Anyone have a comment??Feel free to post ;D When a coastal property comes on the market, the locals and Croatians know about before it is advertised to any "foreigners" Why don't Croatians buy it.....firstly, "Foreigners" actually appreciate the view and being near the beach, I have seen and dealt with so many properties that have excellent sea views but tiny, shuttered windows..no balconies or huge homemade sun screens blocking out all light and views. THEREFORE what is the problem if a foreigner buys a house on the coast, it doesn't equate to the fact that a Croat will leave the country, to the contrary....he/she will spend the money or their other house or buy a further house and begin refurbishment! PROGRESS! I understand that you are a proud Croatian, but living in Canada and not intending to return here for 10 years is not THAT patriotic, how do the native Canadians feel about a foreigner owning one of their houses? PS The former Krajina was Serbian owned and comprised many properties on your coastline.

Stupid question! Many Croats living abroad own houses and apartments. And nobody is asking any questions. Why then foreigner should not be allowed to own property in Croatia?
