Squatters rights?

[dennisc]

Hi everyone,

I was just wondering after reading another story today about a group of Students claiming squatter rights after they took over some poor blokes house while he was on holiday (Daily mail online).

With all the gigantic, luxurious, multi-balconied, LOOK-AT-MY-CREATION Holiday homes about inland and on the coastal regions rarely used during the year. Does anyone know if Croatia has a law that gives rights to squatters?

Maybe some politician wont notice if I squat in his third/fourth home...but if there are squatters rights, then at least people can get something out of what the Gov. they stole/dont deserve/shouldnt have anyway! ;D

In my book your squatter rights would be: 'the right to get your a.s.s. kicked into the hospital', so would not recommend trying that with my house.
My guess is that if you want to try this in Croatia you will get your a.s.s. kicked by the Croatian owners, then by the police and then by the judge. You will have the right to squat in jail for many years.

Squatter’s rights are a very old UK law, so I doubt very much they have this law in Croatia. If at any time you face this, just call in some burley looking guys to clear the house. Probably you could give a little tip and the police would do it for you. So far I have not seen any such law in effect in Croatia.

We do not have squatters in Croatia, we have politicians!
