2023 POLICY ISSUES

1. Recommendations for judiciary improvements

• Due to a significant number of legal and regulatory changes that were implemented in 2022, the update of the AmCham’s Recommendation for judiciary improvements published in 2020 will be done.
• The position paper will provide additional recommendations aimed at creating legal certainty in Croatia.

2. Recommendations for new business management models

• Considering the development of entrepreneurship in Croatia (the increase of startups founded in Croatia), and the need to adapt to global business flows, there is a need to improve certain legal concepts of structuring companies in the Republic of Croatia (especially d.o.o.) in order to attract more easily investments in local SMEs.
• The position paper will contain proposals for including the possibility of more flexible management in limited liability companies that will be aligned with already published recommendations for a more favorable tax treatment of allotment of equity and implementation of equity plans in LLCs.

During 2023, the Committee will monitor legislative changes to be announced and implemented by the Ministry of Justice and Public Administration and act accordingly.
