Croatia

Last Updated: 22 November 2013

Support for Mine Action

In 2012, the Republic of Croatia contributed €31 million (some US$40 million) to its mine action program.[1] Since 2008, Croatia’s contribution to mine action from the state budget has totaled €164 million (more than $226 million) which represents 92% of the total mine action budget in 2008–2012. Croatia is one of a very few countries that contributes over 90% of its mine action budget from national sources.[2]

In 2012, Croatia also received $1.86 million in international contributions toward clearance activities and victim assistance from Germany, Monaco, and the United States (US).[3]
