According to the Croatian news agency HINA, the Croatian government has decided that only the Ministry of Justice will be involved in granting permisson to foreign nationals to acquire property in Croatia. This should simplify the current lengthy procedure, which presently sees applications being lodged with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Until now the MInistry of Foreign Affairs had a final say, totally unnecessary, only slowing the whole procedure, with over 4.000 application being unresolved. Stupid!

I think the only difference will be that now you will at least know on which desk to search for the application, but I fear that it won't change the speed in which the process is handled.
Croatians still live in the past, where 'control' was everything. To give up 'control' is the same as asking the Brits to give up their pint in the pub, it just won't happen.
It will take at least one more generation before this 'control' gene starts to disappear.

We have been with our "well connected" lawyer this morning, she says that this new procedure starts in July, but the ministries still do not know how much quicker the process will be. Currently the application goes to the MFA for scrutiny and then passed on to the Ministry of Justice, then passed back to MFA at which point Ministry of Justice ask what MFA thinks and vice versa, 10 rakijas each, a months siesta and a 2 and a half year decision is arrived at. The new system will go straight to the Justice Ministry for approval.
The contact at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs told our lawyer this morning that to the best of her knowledge every UK application in the pipeline WILL be approved.
This is all the information I have and I cannot elaborate any further, our lawyers also won't make any comment........let's just hope it is true!
