Can somebody tell me how to pay for my TV licence fee in Croatia please? Also, how much does it cost, and how do you prove you have paid it?

normally in my village a man comes out to the property once a month, usually a sunday morning when i am trying to have a lie in, and you pay him just under 60 kuna per month, if we are not in the tv man leaves a chitty in the letter box and we pay at the bank.

Still find it BS that I have to pay for television and radio I don't even watch or listen to. Some may say that this is normal, but the practice of simply taking money from everybody is long gone in many countries. I even had a guy on the phone who wanted me to pay for the radio in the truck. Simply took the radio out, the thing doesn't have reception anywhere, so what is the point of having it installed.

If you don't watch it, you don't need to pay for it. When they come around you say you don't a) have a television b) don't watch national television, c) you don't permanently live here. They have no right to enter your property to prove otherwise.

The rule in Croatia is the same as the Uk, if you have the technology to watch tv then you must pay regardless of if you watch it or not.

The UK TV licence goes towards funding British made programmes. Does the Croatian one do the equivalent ?

I think HTV is their equivalent of bbc so I assume it runs very much like the British system. I know that Croatians want more local tv production rather than the constant American sitcoms/movies. As a guy who works at Nova tv told me so I assume money is being invested in it.
I don't agree with the licence fee either in the uk or Croatia. I don't see why I should play BBC if I choose to watch sky.

They have no right to enter your property to prove otherwise. You can ask them to "seal" your tv. We tried it once when we were college students. Incredibly, a guy came and sealed in a plastic bag - our tv's power cord. .
