Zagreb - all citizen EU for 6 months can buy properties in Croatia without any limitations, but limitation will not apply for another foreign.
1.February 2009. will be used contract from view Croatia for chapter *Free movement of capital* by minister Gordan Jandrokovic.
In negotiation only Malta succeeded to carve out a limitation for buying properties. Croatia as Poland searches transition period from 12 years from access to EU.
Until now foreign have buy properties by set up company in Croatia or by friend, and from next year they can buy like a private person.

LOL! That was areal person who did that translation! I get so used to it that i think its intelligible I guess (see the earlier thread about speaking pidgin English!).
I think there are two things wrong with it and at least one I am putting down to the journalist being misinformed.. 1. He implies that foreigners couldn't buy direct at all until now - we all know that's wrong. 2. Where does the twelve years come from? Does it mean 1997- 2009 or or 2008 - 2020? Or is it also just misinformed?

Does anyone have a (more efficient) lawyer than ours who knows if the outstanding applications for permission will automatically be granted in February. I can't believe it would be so simple knowing the Cro bureacracy as I do so am wondering if we need to do anything to complete it.

At last after approx. 4.5 years we got Ministry approval. But that was after I made my own enquiries !! Now I am buying half the property from my co-owner and my lawyer confirmed that no Ministry approval is required for this transaction after Feb 1st. So its enter our names in the Land registry pay the tax and the process the purchase of half the property off my co-owner. Sigh... its been an awful lot of paper work. Croatia does not make life easy for us foreigners !! And thank you Carol for all your advice to date.

That's great well done! My lawyer (chocolate fireguard) tells me she has seen no info re the change in laws yet so if you have any links you can supply I would be grateful It would be useful if you could update us how long it takes after registering your details for the tax man to come calling (so I can start saving now!)

Hello all. firstly, glad to hear you are ok Polako. Well... feb 1 has finally arrived. I was expecting singing and dancing to have commenced. Has the law definately been passed removing the need for the ministers approval? Anyone know. If it has and has been greeted by such luke warm response it tells me all I need to know about the property market! If someone could let me know it would be much appreciated.

Hello all. firstly, glad to hear you are ok Polako. Thanks Bobs. My consultant has put me on an additive and persevative free diet, which equates to me being able to eat virtually nothing apart from organic stuff. BUT it has enabled me to taper my steroids for the last 5 weeks (which was a nightmare due to steroid withdrawal symptoms) and now I am off them completely but still on 720mg of anti-histamine . The list of what I can't eat though is getting bigger because the diet really highlights an offender within 20 minutes. There was more than one allergen- sesame seeds now as well as most preservatives. But still alive and getting rid of moon face slowly!!!! Short term memory was really affected though on steroids.......had to ask someone where I worked .......... ;D ;D v. funny, and I spoke a lot of rubbish (is that new though??)!! Hope all is well in the land of MOJ..........

Just come to Croatia, they will treat you with Sarma, Bakalar and sitting outside in Bura. That will cure anything.

i actually like bakalar, it does smell but it tastes nice. one croatian food i really like is Soparnik. too bad they havent comercialized that a bit more, even internatioonally.

It's easily the most disgusting thing that's ever passed my lips... and I've dated a Frenchwoman. This sends shivers down my spine, I developed a phobia of Christmas because of it.
