Listings by countryLGBT portal Croatia has allowed unregistered cohabitation (Zakon o istospolnim zajednicama) for same-sex couples since 2003.
The law on same-sex civil unions grants same-sex partners of at least of 3 years the same rights as those enjoyed by unmarried cohabiting opposite sex partners (inheritance, financial support).[1][2]
In addition to this bill, a law was passed banning both incitement to hatred and discrimination based on sexual orientation.[1]
Croatia considered full civil unions with the same rights as marriage, according to a bill by the Liberals and the Social Democrats. [3] After parliamentary elections, any civil union law needs to be re-submitted to the House, since all the pending bills fade if they are not approved by Parliament before its dissolution at the end of its elected term.
