Croatia: the challenges of reforming social benefits

This Flash Report focuses on the European Commission concerns regarding the efficiency of the Croatian social benefit system, in particular in relation to poverty alleviation. There is a need to distinguish between three different issues: the institutional architecture, the degree of duplication between local and central level benefits, and the distorting effects of benefits for war veterans. The Action Plan for Social Benefits 2017-2020 adopted by the Croatian Government in 2018 seems insufficiently ambitious to resolve the challenges.
