The Council of Europe’s MONEYVAL Committee published a follow-up report concluding that Croatia has strengthened its anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing framework and has largely addressed technical compliance deficiencies affecting implementation of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) standard on non-profit organisations (Recommendation 8), while still needing to address some remaining shortcomings. Across the 40 FATF recommendations, Croatia is rated compliant on seven recommendations, largely compliant on 27, and partially compliant on three, with none assessed as non-compliant. In line with its procedures and considering Croatia’s scheduled onsite visit for the sixth-round mutual evaluation in spring 2030, MONEYVAL decided that Croatia will no longer be subject to the fifth-round follow-up process.

MONEYVAL ends Croatia’s fifth-round follow-up after progress on FATF standards for non-profit organisations
The Council of Europe’s MONEYVAL Committee reported that Croatia has improved its anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing framework, addressing most technical compliance issues with the Financial Action Task Force standard on non-profit organisations. Croatia is rated compliant on seven FATF recommendations, largely compliant on 27, and partially compliant on three. Consequently, Croatia will exit the fifth-round follow-up process before its sixth-round mutual evaluation in 2030.
