Increasing the Availability of Digital Payments in Croatia

Representatives of the American Chamber of Commerce in Croatia held a meeting with Mr. Nikola Modrušan, Director General of the Directorate for the Development of State Information Infrastructure and Electronic Services, and Ms. Maja Vitaljić, Acting Director General of the Directorate for Digital Economy.

During the meeting, the position paper “Increasing the Availability of Digital Payments in Croatia” was presented, building upon the recommendations from the position paper “Introducing Card Payments in Public Administration,” which proposed the introduction of card and online payments in public institutions. The cooperation successfully resulted in the implementation of the ePristojbe system.

Special emphasis was placed on improving the e-Građani platform as a single point of access for digital public services, as well as on encouraging the active use of the existing digital infrastructure for digital payments. Representatives of the Ministry welcomed AmCham’s proposals and invited continued active cooperation in the area of digital payments development.

AmCham representatives attending the meeting included Andrea Doko Jelušić, Executive Director; Tomislav Vidović, Policy Manager; Vanja Bačun, Public Affairs Manager; and members of the AmCham Card Payments Working Group — Ralph Rogobete, Marina Jurišić Škurla, and Bojan Jovanović.
